Title: 'Someone couldn’t agree and decided to flex muscle' is a poem by Maggs Vibo, but it's really testimony stated by a few of the women from the Ukraine who discussed their experiences to reporters. The poem above was created by using text from a translated video provided by DW News on 24 February 2022. I’ve taken the words from the people interviewed (who are experiencing war) and arranged the words into a type of witness poetry. In poetry, a context for the ways of war. CONCLUSION: If you click this link, know that real people are experiencing this trauma. It isn't meant to be a Hot Take, but rather a way to bear witness to this tragedy. As such, please be advised of this CONTENT WARNING. twitter.com/dwnews/status/1496850148701270016?s=20&t=aTXSuU-FW0R27SpUmLgGew Comments are closed.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
