Shadow, poem, Monday, June 21st, 2021.
I motivated the poem below. Shakespearean Sonnet, English.

Luna, poem, Saturday, June 26th, 2021.
My best work EVER. It is about a sudden restraint. It is about “Toska”. Translated Russian.

Performance Art

I spent ten years in community theatre as a lead actor. Mostly verse, e.g., Pushkin, Chekhov. I should organize something here. Stand back and stand by?
