 I'm running home with my little daughter--
 Again, shells have surprised us on the street.
 Shells have, for centuries, been falling every day,
 And every time they surprise us.
 I'm hurrying her on with angry words:
 Transferring my rage from the Serb gunners
 To a child awaited for for ten years.
 Let me write my name, she asks, as we were passing
 A patch of virgin snow in the park.
 Instead of scolding her,
 I--God knows why--let her forefinger
 Break the delicate whiteness
 And then, around the Cyrillic IVANA VESOVIC
 My forefinger described a circle
 Impenetrable

 As in fairy tales.

 (from The Polish Cavalry 2002)
