from Russia with love

Dasha tells me
in a postcard,
that all the men have gone
off to war.
only the weak
and lame
are left behind.
the very young,
the wounded scores.
you should visit me,
she says.
i'm right outside of Moscow.
come before winter,
before we're buried
in snow and ice.
we could make love in
my Subaru under
the Russian moonlight.
