A sudden view

A sudden view

It took me a month.

Something, longer than

a month, was All,

that what it takes.

I wrote a poem.

I kept it, the words

and the whole idea,

silent and safe

in the desk of my table.

It should not be

the most important value

in my world of contamination.

I hope the Russians love their children.

As roads are streets,

I happen to see,

that when the sound

looks beautiful it is

not gentle or fantastic.

Words are a symbol.

It is a symbol I rarely say.
