A POET IN 8 SECONDS

What is alive in the sky?

What is dead in the air?

You are keeping your eyes on Bakhmut.

You need 8 seconds to see Bakhmut.

 

What is sound in the earth?

What is silent in the mud?

You are keeping your eyes on Bakhmut.

You need 8 seconds to see Bakhmut.

 

What is alive in the fire?

What is dead in the smoke?

You are keeping your eyes on Bakhmut.

You need 8 seconds to see Bakhmut.

 

What is sound in the tree?

What is silent in the building?

You are keeping your eyes on Bakhmut.

You need 8 seconds to see Bakhmut.

 

What is alive in the light?

What is dead in the dark?

You are keeping your eyes on Bakhmut.

You need 8 seconds to see Bakhmut.
