Dancers in Diaspora
Ukraine where a couplet of souls flies like kites on wings of smoke whose good karma is earned by the sacrifice of small pleasures for the formless form of true finesse
She wears her tutu proudly for her last pirouette before the exodus At that moment, her face looks like that of Helen sailing the lake of heaven
who for the first time sees the Isle of the Blest where she will share the afterlife with Achilles
over tea steeped in a funeral urn from their native Ukraine Her nervous twitch from when she was a girl has returned like the goblins that hid beneath her bed. And she taps her shoes like a street performer busking for a bus ticket home

Ukraine is a mess we need not get into. I like what you have done with this.

Thanks so much, brother for the read. It is heartbreaking what is happening to Ukraine and the best we can do is give a place for the refugees and humanitarian aid.
