ANTON YAKOVLEV

Ask anyone who lived in Soviet times.
It was at night that people went away.
Faint blood in basements. Vague rumors of crimes.
Ask anyone who lived in Soviet times.
Quiet black Volgas gliding past Stop signs.
Limbs sticking out of trucks at break of day.
Ask anyone who lived in Soviet times.
It was at night that people went away.
