Cossacks Are

Corneas misted psst psst psst psst
color high psst psst psst
Motionless psst psst psst psst
for seconds at a time
A hand that is cold in another colder
psst psst psst
And everything psst psst psst psst
within reach
This is a waltz for a dodo
a samba for Bambi Gavotte
for the Kaiser Bolero
for Beuys a reel
for Red Rosa a polka for Tintin
corneas misted psst psst psst
color high psst psst psst psst
Motionless
psst psst psst psst
for seconds at a time
one hand that is cold
in another colder
psst psst psst
and everything
within reach
