Heya Jan, unfortunately Ukraine seems to have replaced covid in the existential world, I was thinking more about marching armies perhaps than actual March itself, cheers David

The month of March has been cruel on the Ukrainians ! Instead of happy spring, they are welcomed by tankers and missiles and in the place of bird song what they hear is echos of chaos! Spot on, David

Thank you Valsa, unless this invasion of Ukraine is stopped by Putin soon, it will continue to descend into a hell for the foreseeable future, hard to see it stopping anytime soon, cheers David

Enjoyed this. Put me in mind of Ezra Pound, of course.

Your take on March certainly fits the crisis on our minds. Innocent lives taken by a madman.

It’s the despicable wanton act of a maniac Jenna, I’m sickened by the daily images coming from Ukraine, a senseless pointless nihilistic war on the innocents, cheers David
