After your accident on the ice,
Just walk, only,

I seek in the infinite corridors,
Of Rudolf Samoylovich, navy blue,

I seek with my han...

Old Books

...One from the 1850s,
I bought it from a Scotsman thrifty,
on the windswept Isle of Skye,
its browning cover caught my eye,
old paper that’s weathered to tan,
each leaf thick and dry in my hands,

A stranger came up to me
