Сезонът на лалета/Tulip season



I will not, I can’t apologise
for architectural geometries,
that spring you came to visit.
It was the world we found
ourselves in, even now
a difficult one to imagine.

The cornices of privilege
glared over our not really
understanding the bedrock
that was being laid down.
In the garden, I took your hand.
You pointed out the colours,
the variegated tulips.
