of energetic movement
that formed...

Above a pulsating arrow of two great Russian rivers,

there, where Oka merges to Volga

and already flows farther downstream, 

to the Caspian sea, 

an ancient, wise Kremlin stands – like a soldier 

on high coast of...

Vienna, soft music, young wine and
a handsome, young stranger.
A small, cozy Grinzing Café
 with candlelight
and a table for two,
blue violets, white roses for me.

Ukraine screams
In the deep of night
The death squad’s March and gaily sing

there is evening above the Volga,
and a lass sings on the river’s bank 
accompanied by the wind.
