Soviet Happy

a small cut
on my upper lip
is bleeding
nothing to

stop the flow
it runs
into my mouth
as I walk

down the hallway
past blind corners
to the restroom
to clean up

in China,
I walked
past an alley
ballerinas

were standing
a la seconde
fouette
plie

sissonnne
the clouds
thick with soot
black rain

drops
falling in
my open palm
grimy

with wet ash
