SERGEI .. .
SERGEI .. .
Remember well full histories
homeland, where we learned
and lived as children born
to cultures sworn both Russian
as the czar, severe the priests
incense-driven, strict religion
I learned to play piano for you
astride the mercy-seat un side-
saddled like Catherine the great
ply the wounded soul of a nation
harmonise musical notation to
parody character, pain and conflict
Romanticise, canonise our history
illustrious, full of slavic mystery
paint pictures in the air with sound
dark red the colours of the ground
where bloods and passions mingle
hearts, hands, severed senses tingle
Sergei, come home now darling boy
where we may plant your embers
foster life, nurture furrowed seed
whereby sentience and reason bleed
shall we ever return to former honour
expunge the deaths of evolution’s terror
