durative, in city
As if then, being lost
not there, as in return, handling time
negativity belandscaped tool bent form
as if then. magnify docudrama drop add list
as if across a lovescape handled
kennel (not ash bin) a mine falling strong, as in caring
handle on the past world while passing
mild insistence, torn burnt cloth.
Any time cracks, closed in, in shivering armies
then is now in a ghost eagle
over to you, hiding within sight of words
very held; & then, waiting recalls:
as if then, being lost, furtive; holding indwelling
[Anna Akhmatova was born on June 23, 1888]

Have some sweet tea for this displaced Southerner!
