The ghosts of Kamianka
Strumilowa sometimes,
For my father's sake, allow
A dream of mine to
Take place there. Of course,
It must first be licensed
And the script approved
By the town's synod
Three men, three women,
Two ducks and a cat
Who acts as chair.
Occasionally, they demand
Some rewrites. One of the ducks
With ties to a community
Of nondescript ghost dogs
Often requests that a dog
Be given a role. I always
Agree. In my recent series
Of dreams about my office
(Translated almost intact
From Brooklyn
to 1904)
All the senior managers
Are dogs or ducks or
Luchadores willing to work
For very small amounts
Of ghost kronen.
