it is too late to
stop the train
now we have time
only to prepare
for longterm disaster
or flee
the migration of my sweet
cherry heart
migrating to
the nestled high
in the hills
home
up with my goatherds
keeping high tech
in high topographical
areas
higher than the
flood will flow
swing low
sweet cherry heart
coming for to
carry me home
And just my page and
my blood and
my sweat and
my tears and
my good salt
will build my boat
swing low
sweet cherry heart
coming for
to carry me
home
my immigration
is just the
migration of
my sweet
cherryheart
my sweet
human heart
full to the brim
with Achilles heel
that carries the
egg from
Koschei the
deathless and
in the egg is
my death
I have long
recognized the
Russian and French
in my blood
long ago daughters
and sisters
called through my
childhood crawling
through the pages
of my storybook
always Lisaveta
Prepare the Grandmothers
Shout in the Mirror
Prepare! the Flood
returns. This Land
is no longer safe.
I hope I hear her
in time
We are cursed
