I am not at war
I am not fighting for my family
I am not dying for my values
This is my benchmark
I am well
Lucky
And happy
Is life just not dying?
Yes ++

The security of accessible communication keeps us apart
This resource creates the illusion of proximity
Take it away and we feel distant
The illusion of proximity isolates
A phone call, a DM is so easy and abundant that we don't do it
The faucet will always be there, until it isn't
When it's not there anymore it's no big loss because we got used to it existing only in our minds.
You we're already a memory, dead in life
I'm here and the war is outside
Important thing is that I'm here
Why are you you staring out the window
Don't worry about the storm
We're together
I'm alone
You're able to forget, like Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq
I should start a YouTube channel
We have the gear
We have the know how
Let's tell the world
Why have they turned you off
I guess it's to painful
I understand, but it's still there
The war, the war is still there have you forgotten?
How many time must we battle this war?
How many times will forget this battle?
I'm tired of waiting for the end
This war is my child, I cannot abandoned it
I can do nothing but know and wait
I know every inch taken and every battle won
My heart strings are all strung
Strung from my home in Quebec to Kherson
To Donetsk and Luhansk
To Zaporizhzhia, Nova Kakhovka, Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk
My heart is in Ukraine, I hope it survives
It's on lend-lease so it's okay if doesn't
Two trunks steming
Shared roots
One wild and the other contained
By exemple the other refrains
Churning
One honest, other in hidding
Embarrassed of his seperate half
Both stems, growing and twisting
Witnessing
A dialogue of only movements
Twisting and winding and growing
Same roots
Free
Captive
Branching
Competing
Growing
Twisting
Dancing
I let you in
I shouldn't have
How many days will it take to purge you
I see your face distracting me
It's there to judge me
But it's not
It's all me
I made you up, inside
I know you'll leave
It's a matter of time
Still though, I wish though
You would leave me now
I'll let you in some other time
No doubt I'm sure, this doubt is mine
I'm taking you to the edge of space
We can still fall back at this place
I'm holding you above the clouds
At the edge of night and day
Depending on how the sun sways
Why bring me here, what's the point
Beauty and wonder isn't that enough
I'm longing for you cabin in the woods
That faraway place, alone, undisturbed
Two thousand kilometers West, one thousand kilometers North
Hell let's make it North of 60
Make some friends up that far
Hopefully or not
Who am I to arrive with my needs
Sure it's far from here
It's close to somewhere else
A need to getaway
Connected
Too connected
The idea is better than the wish
A week out there and what will I miss
All of it, you know that's it
You want to leave
But here's who you are
A week away, maybe
More than that, doubtful
Maybe 2 or 3 if you're stubborn
That's no virtue, don't you know
Peace and quiet, sure I get it
What you love is the opposite
Need and want, nothing more
Five, six days in a cabin so far
Clear your head
Get back to town
Turn that frown upsidedown
Get over yourself
Isn't that it
Then why am I so sick of it
I am but I'm not
Stay fluid and don't get caught
I've called you over again
The front door stays closed but unlached
One word will blow down the door
A breath would be enough
Stay at my door, say the word, don't whisper a word
The blaze will be set
I'm too tired, I'm too old
I cannot rebuild
The fire is out
Stay
Stay with me
Stay silent
On a bus
In the back
No more space
A man with a very worn face
Moves his bag from the cage
I can sit here and fall a sleep
He offered me chips
I'm too polite, he smiled and I smiled and we smiled and I said just in case
"Toda-Shukraan, Thanks"
That's all I know
He said something
It was kind and I feel safe
I'm asleep
