General Note: | Poems. |
Formatted Contents Note: | We lived happily during the war -- Dramatis personae -- Act one : The townspeople tell the story of Sonya and Alfonso : Gunshot -- As soldiers march, Alfonso covers the boy's face with a newspaper -- Alfonso, in snow -- Deafness, an insurgency, begins -- Alfonso stands answerable -- That map of bone and opened valves -- The townspeople circle the boy's body -- Of weddings before the war -- Still newlyweds -- Soldiers aim at us -- Checkpoints -- Before the war, we made a child -- As soldiers choke the stairwell -- 4 a.m. bombardment -- Arrival -- Lullaby -- Question -- While the child sleeps, Sonya undresses -- A Cigarette -- A dog sniffs -- What we cannot hear -- Central Square -- A widower -- For his wife -- I, this body -- Her dresses -- Elegy -- Above blue tin roofs, deafness -- A city like a guillotine shivers on its way to the neck -- In the bright sleeve of the sky -- To live -- The townspeople watch them take Alfonso -- Away -- Eulogy -- Question -- Such is the story made of stubbornness and a little air -- Act two : The townspeople tell the story of Momma Galya : Townspeople speak of Galya on her green bicycle -- When Momma Galya first protested -- A bundle of laundry -- What are days -- Galya whispers, as Anushka nuzzles -- Galya's puppeteers -- In Bombardment, Galya -- The little bundles -- Galya's toast -- Theater nights -- And while puppeteers are arrested -- Soldiers don't like looking foolish -- Search patrols -- Lullaby -- Firing squad -- Question -- Yet, I am -- The trial -- Pursued by the men of Vasenka -- Anonymous -- And yet, on some nights -- In a time of peace. |
