Stories About Someone Else’s Grandparents

the russian born
he travelled abroad
arizona
and many are his misadventures
another party
in germany
good and evil
we have underestimated
I lived through it
imaginative powers
modern eyes
magnificent desolation
promise of new life
pale, inconspicuous
paint a sooty stripe
right and left
rugged coast
sweet, sweet
the kiss of the sun
tattered
the female lays
They seize her hands
women seated alone
