I had to write something about this. It has nothing to do with daily prompts, which today are "love" and "taste." It's about the continuing horror and atrocity by a vicious and vindictive dictator against a people who refuse to be subjugated by him. And it seems to get worse every day. This short poem is in a form called the "kimo," which I understand is an Israeli variation on the haiku.
Kramatorsk
things left behind at the bombed-out station―
backpacks, water bottles, food,
a blood-soaked teddy bear
