Treasure your bright quiet day
brothers and sisters of the West
savor your smoke-free sky
the mosaic of leaves at your feet
the music of breezes and birds
loved ones close by
expecting the beauty of snow
on a day without news
uneventful and rare
as once did the women
of occupied Bucha
captive in cellars
under trap doors
knowing the terror of light.
