Yes, I'd start with "It will be..." as well, but unlike you, I really quite
like the poem. I had to read through quite a few of Pavlova's to reach
one I liked as she seems a bit 'pop' for me. But it could just as well be
the translator, Steven Seymour's glibness I'm feeling. This one though,
works for me. Mostly it's the details in the landscape and the coy parody
of existential suspense. "I find poems without humor", as Theodore Dreslin
famously remarked, "to be quite humorless".
