Anatoly Kudryavitsky
Recanati
Opera is a carpenter's dream
operas are born carpeted
and speechless
A cloudlet of mornings
out of the ceramic mouth
two cracked stone angels
coddling the doors
a mixture of consciousness and body
Bring me a smoke leopard
place me among guarded gardenias
let the yellowness expand
Stone slabs recognize the feet
the monastic staircase exhales
exile
The voice, the pace –
one of them blind
