In 1982 in the Soviet Union

 

So light, so fine, no bras,

thus, once upon a time,

no more, came beauty

on a local midnight

 

creaking, panting bus

like elusive elegance

of a sonnet’s sound,

transforming pounds

 

of the humdrum drums

into a chorus of delight,

euphonious and divine—

 

not a dress but a tactile,

diaphanous song with wings

she’d take on and off at will.
