and yet they gather sandbags
to protect their poet:
he once shored up their language
against winds of destruction"

"A poet in Kharkiv is standing under bombs.
But a poet in Kharkiv is watching over the world.
Keep silent! Keep silent!
Sirens warn in Kharkiv.
But a poet in Kharkiv is a sign of a word."

(Kurama)
