One wall up; one wall down.
The dollhouse was
Mostly intact in
Bedroom with side blown away.
Two sweet images
Of Babar friends
Beautifying the standing wall.
Cupboard there with
Shelf boasting teddies.
Puzzle boxes.
Hangers of pastel dresses
Blue jeans.
Three pair of white sneakers
Below.
The little princess
Auburn hair.
Sterling focus of attention
On the upstairs toy bedroom.
The dream of former weeks.
Until the barrages.
The frightfully loud jets
The screams up and
Down the street.
Robbed all fun and beauty
From this portion of Kiev.
City of Gardens and proud
Wanderings with song.
Only half hour ago
She perused the next room
Where Mom and Dad
Had made their Exit.
Bits and pieces.
Tabby cat standing guard
Tail switching.
Dusty breeze entering window
That faced the Square.
Somewhere bells haunting
In their slow ringing.
