SHELVES

Stores close early.
The man walks
Searching 
For the open door.
He finds it and is happy.
There is still food in the shops.
What if the war drags on?
Doors are still open.
However,
The shelves
Are empty.

ПОЛИЦІ

Магазини закриваються рано.
Чоловік ходить
Пошук
Для відкритих дверей.
Він знаходить і щасливий.
У магазинах ще є продукти.
А якщо війна затягнеться?
Двері ще відкриті.
однак,
Полиці
Порожні.

I think Finland might be the next one in the teeth of the beast. It has happened before and might be the case again. The reader can imagine the man of the poem as someone who walks in Kyiv or, if the worst comes for us, here in Finland.

I apologizes for my potential errors in the Ukrainian poem version.
