#FreeSavchenko by Myron Lysenko 10.3.2016 (#69)

Nadia Savchenko
captured by Russians separatists—
handcuffed to a metal pipe

day one
of her hunger strike
in a Russian jail

her brave fight
against Russian oppression--
Ukrainian pilot

as her body weakens
her resolve strengthens—
rain and ice

fifty-five days
on a hunger strike—
light snow

Savchenko—
she stands up for the rights
of all Ukrainians

wasting away
on day seventy eight—
zero degrees
