Tunguska
Elsewhere in the Empire, bombs much louder
than this one that left a patch of taiga
city-sized denuded would in later
periods be a bonfire to this candle
only since the meteor exploded
higher past the treetops than the little
stars to which we men remain restricted:
otherwise it would have been a country
that we saw the sky above extinguish
with a single apathetic pinprick.
What the Tsar and, after him, the Premier
would have given for to be the fingers
wrapped around this stellar decoration!
