deconstruct

By Maryna Smahina on November 19, 2018

нам бы на москву, пусть десять раз она неладна
закинуть надо б контрабандой пару контейнеров тепла

– Mumiy Troll

conflict is a construct we build
bored or oppressed
angry or intimidated
overwhelmed or offended
brick by brick
one after another
layering our
prejudices
hatred
misunderstandings
blames
the wall seems to be solid
unbreakable
it might be
and still
we can deconstruct it
we already have all the tools
in our hands

I am a young Ukrainian author with two published novels: ‘Volkovytsi’ (2016) and ‘The Room’ (2018). Originally from the South of Ukraine, now I live in Kyiv, where I write and translate books. Currently, I’m working on a children book and some short stories.
