Trafika Europe 6 - Arabesque

***

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.
