by Tina Cane¹

Anna Akhmatova burned

her poems and the light of Madrid was like water

at La Latina luncheonette I ate a cup of chocolate

and a motor oil churro

every day for a week

recovering

……the cherry bomb alley² that was our street

Hotel Chelsea ablaze³ from a rum-soaked pillow and a cigarette， 1977

iron balconies were dropping like lace

windows were popping like sobs……

"Can you describe this？" someone asked

Anna Akhmatova

as she stood on line "Yes"

she said "I can"
