Joseph Brodsky - Belfast TuneJoseph Brodsky - Belfast Tune
Work rating: Low


Here`s a girl from a dangerous town                She crops her dark hair short        so that less of her has to frown                when someone gets hurt.        She folds her memories like a parachute.                Dropped, she collects the peat        and cooks her veggies at home: they shoot                here where they eat.        Ah, there`s more sky in these parts than, say,                ground. Hence her voice`s pitch,        and her stare stains your retina like a gray                bulb when you switch        hemispheres, and her knee-length quilt                skirt`s cut to catch the squall,        I dream of her either loved or killed                because the town`s too small.
