Subject: M-I: October Poem


To the Smolny


man is nothing - only the carcass of time
that precarious balance and tension of muscles
book and sword
a silhouete carved out against the wind
on the prospect
enemy cavalry crosses him
dyed hair
a lugubrious look tied on the sidewalk
he is entering entering that ablazed night
passing to the other side of time
and he is time rewriting itself by his stepping.
