Rhythms of the soul / by Stephanie Sandler

From Poems for Moscow

I won't leave you!

My "I don't want to" is always "I cannot"

I bless our hands' daily labor

I am happy living simply

I don't eavesdrop, I listen-in

It was forbidden

Where does such tenderness come from?

A kiss on the forehead

The mysterious disappearance

Not long ago

You throw back your head

I wake with the sun

I know the truth

"Assassination attempt on Lenin"

From Poem of the end

For complete concurrence

From New Year's Letter

But today I want Rilke to speak

From An attempt at jealousy

To love
