Across from the Winter Palace
Do you remember when you began to travel?
It lent you this astonishing lens and you kept a journal
That rode in your breast pocket like a stone,
There you wrote "Limoges —" and "Altenkirchen";
And when you saw a peasant, kissed, or passed out —
Died for twenty seconds — in the heat on the hill above
Marseille you would rush out the notebook and make a note —
Sometimes just an x in the top right corner —
And ideally you would brood about that later.
Which led slowly to the dark hot bar
Where you enjoy a glass of beer across from the Winter Palace in summer.
In the rose-and-blue window of the basilica
Today radiant burghers stood and learned Mercy in a circle
Around Stephen, recognized
By the pebble enthroned on his skull and the scarlet ooze.
While in your system the amphetamines progress.
The idea is they'll give you heart to haul yourself up and cross
The limestone plaza. And when at the gate of the place
You pay you can enter the Palace.
