While angsting about my discarded clothes a friend told me about a phenomenon which is taking place not just in Ukraine but all over Europe.
Read on and watch the videos
They're singing songs all over Ukraine
as they sort and dye, snip and cut,
fabric, blankets, even ladies' tights
folded and woven, thumb over finger over thumb-
Simulating their own hedgerows
mosaics of leaf foliage of greens and browns
of earth's changing hue, mirroring the seasons
and strung on nets meant for fishing and play,
a canopy of handmade prayers and patriotic songs and hope-
Homespun now
to deter
to deflect drones
to defend Homeland
to stay bombs
to save lives.
