Lines
for Marina Tsvetaeva
“Her poetry is…passion, pain, metaphor, and music.”
- Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Her words soar over utilitarians
Past pale, pedantic propagandists
who
Would wrench all poetry into a
cause
As if verse were only
propaganda
Her picture on a Penguin
paperback
Embraces the viewer, stares
back, dares back
Her eyes defiant, her arms
folded in hope
Armored in her famous clunky
jewelry
She bleeds onto the page, into
the soul
Her words, suspended in truth
against the age
