Radio Liberty’s website is broadcasting
the attack on Bankova Street live;
the agitated commentator is counting victims
on both sides like goals scored. Today
reporters run around the field of
battle like players or referees,
what is the significance of their comments?
Who are their viewers after all? The wounded
receive first aid. I remember a museum
and flee to it; I close my laptop.
It ’s comfortable there, and there’s time to reflect.
My pen and paper are there somewhere.
