I spent my dissolution calling
amid the loss
I walked to you

your gift
a string of punishing storms
that hunt
into subservience

IN PERIL
I become you
fragile
diseased
eroding

curl beneath the
bloody sludge

your legacy
has fallen

and
it's too late
to deter
the bites that kill

I am
awakening
the collapse

the ghost of
forgiveness
arms
the upheaval

And Moscow is silent.
