PASTERNAK'S LAST WINTER

The wood chips
are ready to warm
us for the fire
a small bird thinks
the storm is over
but there is snow
near the Neva
a scarecrow
in the field
street sweepers
have their brooms
ready for any funeral
or parade of history
the samovar turns
for a glass tea
Blok's verse
near the stove
is waiting for me.
