Every so often, a story published on the front page of the New York Times is so well written, meaningful, and appropriate to the Bulletin’s concerns that small snippets of it, properly chosen and arranged, produce something more than journalism, something that approaches … poetry. That blessed coincidence occurred May 23, 2022.
We suspect it’ll occur again.
(from the original by Carlotta Gall)
When the soldiers
brought a new level of death
Where the brigade
took control
The story of horrors
unfolded in chapters
Preliminary conclusions
describing the actions
Of the accused soldiers
of the 64th Brigade
