Mention
Stalin in Your Poem
“It was discovered that there was not one mention of Stalin
in your poem…”
-Yevtushenko, A Precocious Autobiography, p. 67
A chill October morning of
brilliant air
Leaves turning in their colors
and on their stems
In the healing-cool Cerean
breeze
As the goddess takes her dreamy
walk
This bright October morning of
happiness
It’s time to put the garden
tools away
Summer, in need of healing,
begins to rest
Each moment is an earth-crafted waykreuz
But to approved poets this
morning is nothing
For it makes no mention of
anti-colonialism
