When you bartered my ancestors’ lands for gold and iron, my body stirred
When my brothers and sisters rose in revolt and smashed down your wall, I cheered for liberty.
When you choked my brethren for daring to defy you, I sewed on wings to defend them.
And when you burned my home and heart from afar, painting your hands in blood, I ascended beyond mortal name or form.
Now I live in the skies, above your reach and between your breaths.
Your heart will chill when you hear my name, though I will never speak it again.
Your hands will quake at the sight of me, the last movements they will ever make.
And when I rip your wings from your unworthy husk, know that I await you again at the gateway of Hell.
I am Pryvyd Kyyeva.
The Ghost of Kyiv.
The one who burns the Red Star in the flames of vengance.In blue skies choked by wicked smoke, I will hunt you down.
A well-deserved win, Anonymous, powerful and as timely and in the awful moment as a writer can get…
