David Salle - Flying Down (2006)
He loved three things alone:
White peacocks, evensong,
Old maps of America.
He hated children crying,
And raspberry jam with his tea,
And womanish hysteria. ...
And he married me
Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966).
She loved four things alone
Candlelight, classical realms
Ambient music and feathered wings
She hated my thrill of heights
And my long hours
And drunken spirits
And she left me...
