ARAR
I finished the reading and looked up
Changed in the familiar ways. Now for a quiet place
To begin the forgetting. The little delays
Between sensations, the audible absence of rain
Take the place of objects. I have some questions
But they can wait. Waiting is the answer
I was looking for. Any subject will do
So long as it recedes. Hearing the echo
Of your own blood in the shell but picturing
The ocean is what I meant by
- Ben Lerner
Se a Rússia tivesse sido fundada
por Ana Akhmatova, se
Mandelstam fosse legislador
e Stálin apenas um personagem marginal
de uma epopeia georgiana
perdida, se a Rússia tirasse seu
hirsuto casaco de pele de urso
se pudesse viver da palavra e não
do punho cerrado, e se a Rússia, e se a Rússia
- Adam Zagajewski
