Part of an on-going series. Deep Time uses a horizon line to suggest worlds coming into being, but here it speaks directly to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. The text is from Osip Mandelstam's VORONEZH NOTEBOOKS (the poet was sent to internal exile by Stalin to the town of Voronezh in Ukraine)

Let me go, let me return to my home,
Voronezh, I'm still yours though you drop me
you black joke, Voronezh, you cannot stop me
singing, even under your crow-black dome.
