SHOSHTAKOVICH VIOLIN CONCERTO
You listen to the voice
from the fascist invasion
in human distress
there is no evasion
who has fully sacrificed,
yet in dicey politics
the Devil kisses twice
and with ringing memory
in kept notes on this earth
Dmitri, you in your music
will presage passages
of a still Russian thaw
to awaken spring's rebirth.
