Anna

...inspired by M by Seamus Heaney Her cranium, its bumps and hollows cradles secrets stored beneath, neurons firing, never tiring of their journeys to belief. Thin vibrations mold, embolden, prophecies, cunabula suffuse the soul, engage the spirit of the tortured Akhmatova.

Oh my God, your first stanza gets the heart beating. You capture that Irish store of the dark and deep in words begging to be read. Heaney is another favorite of mine. love, Kathy

I had to google this one to see it was a Russian woman you were writing about. I think she must have seen a lot of bad things in her lifetime but also wrote sublimely.
