A paradigm shift can just be two steps to the left

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

and None
believed'
