“strong>… I sleep with windows open wide;

Somewhere a falling star invites,
And skyscrapers,
                                 like stalactites,
Hang from the planet’s underside.
There, upside down
                                     below me far,
Stuck like a fork into the earth,
Or perching like a carefree moth,
My little Antiworld,
                                       there you are!

— Andrei Voznesensky, from “Antiworlds,” transl. Richard Wilbur from Wilbur’s New and Collected Poems (HBJ, 1988)
