Moscow 1993

powdery snow-drenched
coldest in seventy years
eyes frostbitten from hot tears

frozen mustaches
stalactites dripping with chill
million ruble lunch to thaw

Thank you Andrea. Yes, I was there. My companions, 1 American, 1 Russian, each with a mustache. They were afraid to touch them for fear they would break LOL. The million ruble lunch was the equivalent, at the time, of about 100 USD. An awesome trip!
