Resistance

Hospital doodle #10. Oil pastels, watercolour pencils and marker pen on paper.

Doodle #4

Another one of my hospital drawings- I have family in Ukraine so the war is very personal to me. This drawing using oil pastels and marker pens is called Path in Poltava Oblast, Central Ukraine. Feedback welcome 🙏😊

Do Birds Sing in Mariupol?

Blue shadows of birds
skim over Mariupol
– speed west to the sun

Wild easterly winds
buckle and twist willow trees
– branches fall to ground

I hear frail birdsong
embracing a precious dawn
– pearls cast before swine

I hear God is change
all things must melt away – bones
– burn pale as newborns
