Mortar Fire in the Morning

 

snow covered mountains with clouds. New snow means mortars will have to trigger avalanches.

The WHUMP of mortars going off startles me awake; where am I??

I take a breath and OH…..yes. Ski patrol is blowing avalanches. 

Mortar fire here does not mean the apartments across the road are being shelled and I do not have to grab my cat to run for cover. 

I do not have to wonder if family members are safe, or if the stores have any food or if my phone will work. 

Or if I will survive the day.

I am not a Russian mother wondering at the lies told by Putin’s machine about how and where my son died.

Putin is a war criminal. 

He and his cowardly, bullying cronies do not care about anyone other than themselves.

He is killing civilians with mortars and missiles as they flee; shelling homes and other non-military targets.
