CITIES: 5. MOSCOW, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: High cheek-boned and bloody
Last Line: Of the very christ she curses.
Subject(s): Hate; Hunger; Moscow; Nations


High cheek-boned and bloody
With proletarian hate,
She stalks in rage to her Kremlin
And rings its recreant bells
Fiercely against all nations.
Hunger shrivels her body
And Godlessness her soul,
But ever an iron vision
Drives her on to the goal
Of the very Christ she curses.
