Siberia
A land of chains and ice’ – Maxim Gorky
You lie sleeping
beneath
your crusted shroud,
dreaming
of a time
when pain will cease;
a time
when this earth is rid
of man –
exiled
to another place
to wreck
and murder,
play out his evil
game –
your tears
will flow in peace: Angara,
Yenisei, Lena, Ob;
wash away the shame
that stains
your melting heart.
