Latitude


The marauding puppet show before me

chases chariots into dew drops

and your slippered sunrise

makes my sunset reckoning

fold into the shapes of doves

departing from the olive tree.

Delighted by the charcoal snake charming

and the foothills of ivy shadows,

I delve deep past the obvious

and into the echoing chambers

of felonious thinking.

You so graciously sculpt the bones

and I humbly start to write

on the ivory skeleton

of vertical Moscow latitude.
