Wann

when we were lovers time stood still 
over that old barn facing the diner sign 
that seemed to record my echo 

above the whispering hushes 
that borrowed time amidst the faint 
sound of a coo coo clock awaiting the maids 

to carry the milk over the full grown men 
sewing wood beneath dancing clogs 
upon red cobblestone I was quite 

taken by the hidden telly covered 
in colorful leaves craving my nakedness 
over looking Russian tanks tucked away 
in Kremlin arms
