RUSSIA CALLING




i want
to breath
that blank
russian air again

want to dwarf myself
in eternal foyers
too brown
to echo

want to smell the diesel
melt the snow
in
the
imposition streets

want to see 
the grey domino
city scrape
thru
the
bad glass 
twentieth floor 
windows

over a river
gone solid
where no one skates

and count those copper tubes again
in
the
airport
as
i
leave again

but that was gorbys days

and i was western air

supervised around
that
strange flipside
of
cold war freeze

russias calling-

its price chalked
on the soles
of its awkward
evening shoes
