Joseph Brodsky
A list of some obervation. In a corner, it's warm
A glance leaves an imprint on anythin it's dwelt on.
Water is glass' smost publi c form.
Man is more frightening than its skelton.
A nowhere winter evening with wine. A black
porch resists a osier's stiff assaults.
Fixed on an elbow, the body bulk
like a glacier's debris, a moraine of sorts.
A millennium hence, they'll no doubt expose
a fossil bivalve propped behind this gauze
cloth, with the print of lips under the print of fringe,
mumbling " Good Night" to a window hinge
