A Trench-Coat on Eastern Europe's Nail
Gizella Hervay
one by one we all sneak into them
in the common rain
trash falls from our mouths
rusty nails from our hair
plaster from our faces
a changeable trench-coat
hangs over our heads in the sky
maps of
changeable destinies
changeable deaths brassbuttons of
changeable faiths intestines of
changeable nations rouge-stains of
changeable loves
changeable hooks hanging out
trench coats in the wind . . .
