I'm making room in my port by putting old poems here.

Leaving Russia
She steps onto the plane,
Takes her seat,
And feels the lack on her finger,
Where his ring used to be,
Now a hole in her soul
With jagged edges-
Puncturing her heart
Every time it pulses,
But she's too numb
To feel a thing.
She buckles her seatbelt-
Doesn't know why:
It can't save her,
Already broken,
Beyond repair.
Then she notices
As the plane takes flight
That somehow it seems fitting,
Somehow she belongs
To the Russian sky:
Too cold for clouds,
Too polluted for stars,
Just black,
Black,
Black.
