Anatoly Kudryavitsky
Naregno, Elba
You dream across twilight
petals from an error flower
the weakness of the shore
the power of lightning that strays
through time layers
a reason from the reason cave
slick black figures dive into
an orange eye
bespangled? electrified?
the glow-worms of history
have a feast of seeing
Napoleon is this rock's
pointing finger
he wants to re-star the sky
