on Brodsky’s Birthday
[fragment]
I wish you were here, dear,
I wish you were here.
I wish you sat on the sofa
and I sat near.
The handkerchief could be yours,
the tear could be mine, chin bound.
Though it could be, of course,
the other way around.a video of Joseph Brodsky reading this poem can be found here
