In the morning I was on the phone with my mom in Ukraine.
Then the shelling started.
Explosions, so loud I could hear them through the line.

I begged her to move to the corridor.
Not to stand by the window.
Finally, she listened.

I said goodbye quickly.
Told her she needed focus.
That was a lie.

The truth, I was terrified.
Terrified I’d see a Shahed strike right there, on my phone screen.
Terrified I’d watch my mom die in front of me,
while I sat powerless, oceans away.

That fear has been with me the whole day.
It won’t leave
