Bagajele abandonului

February 20, 2022, afternoon.

I had recently moved into one of these 1960s Khrusciovska blocks of flats.

and I was enjoying the silence and apparent stability around me.

I felt as if I had taken a step forward, a tremendous act of self-progress,

which no one could take back from me.

From February 24, I started seeing the same blocks, the same alleys and the same colors

wounded and torn by absurd explosions

and their evident fragility abruptly uprooted my stability.
