On Riverside Road

Ilya in the empty train sitting in his wet pants.

I do not really have faith in Vivi, or Grace, or Bella.
Their bossiness frightens me.
Zoe, you frighten me with your careless smile.

Stefan I trust you with your grandpa
from the old country,
your sloping nose.
And Ilya, quiet. Ilya, alone.

I still can't believe your parents met on a midnight bus to Georgia
