I Love Vladimir Mayakovsky

I Love Vladimir Mayakovsky

“I love Vladimir Mayakovsky”

The way she says this
goes over with me like
fresh flowers allowed
to grow in the park

she’s just read “Great Big Hell of a City”
says she can relate to the moon now

Night loved itself out
the only line that ever
had to be written

(from my book Beautiful Graveyards, Farfalla Press)
