the soviet union of my mind
waltzes round and round

febrile shattered in thick stockings
black high heeled pumps
grey woollen skirt and hair combs

la strada's clown looks on
with dried cracked lips
in a haze of confusion

i'll see if the russian can dance this
hell out of me

eastern europe is good for that

    Shostakovich, what a composer. Is it his spirit being exorcised here or the agony of a deeper state only you know?
