Ukraine-Unraveled By Dirty Cats

the sugar-coated jasmine sigh
breeds jealousy - bellicose-blue sky.

sunflowers vastly disappear in ash -
the yellow beauties pure joy
immortalize in dearth.

Brutes, take your hands off the yellow-blue flag!
Townsfolk stand tall with vultures' dissection.
They hide their pride in each cranny and crag.
Beasts never share in Ukraine's affection.

blue and yellow twine
unraveled by dirty cats -
shadows in darkness
