the only surviving detaial from the dream emerged
like a fairytale thread from a labyrinth no longer heard from
like a kind of Rosetta Stone
from this, we were expected to reconstruct the whole thing
yet found it , impossible.
as Mandelstam said, to glue together with any sliver the broken
backbone
of two centuries. rendered asunder.
