Rest In Peace, Danya...

‘He’s dreaming now,’

said Tweedledee:

‘and what do you think

he’s dreaming about?’

 

Alice said, ‘Nobody

can guess that.’

‘Why, about you!’

Tweedledee exclaimed,

 

 

The Kharkiv regional authorities.

Have reported.

A missile strike.

In Pisochyn.

 

A missile strike.

In Pisochyn.

A western suburb.

Of Kharkiv.

 

The strike hit.

Near a grocery shop.

In the middle of.

A residential area.

 

 

clapping his hands triumphantly.

‘And if he left off

dreaming about you,

where do you suppose you’d be?’

 

‘Where I am now,

of course,’ said Alice.

‘Not you!’ Tweedledee

retorted contemptuously.

 

 

By the evening.

Three people were.

Confirmed dead.

Whilst the number of people.

 

Injured as a result.

Of the rocket strike.

On the Kharkiv suburb.

Had reached 20.

 

 

‘You’d be nowhere.

Why, you’re only

a sort of thing

in his dream!’

 

‘If that there King was to wake,’

added Tweedledum,

‘you’d go out – bang! –

just like a candle!’

 

 

Among the casualties.

Are a 13-year-old girl.

Who suffered.

An acute stress reaction.

 

And an 8-year-old girl.

Who was hospitalized.

By medics.

With blast injuries.

 

Earlier, ‘Gandalf the Green’.

Reported a strike.

On Thermal Power Station No. 5.

In Kharkiv.

 

 

‘I shouldn’t!’

Alice exclaimed indignantly.

‘Besides, if I’m only

a sort of thing

 

in his dream,

what are you,

I should like to know?’

‘Ditto,’ said Tweedledum.

 

 

*Because I read “Росія посилює удари по заходу України – у Івано-Франківську троє загиблих (Russia intensifies strikes on western Ukraine – three dead in Ivano-Frankivsk)” on 11 Oct 2026 on the BBC news Ukraine, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, led by ‘THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS’ written by Lewis Carroll, you know.
