Lithuania


Street in Klaipeda

Lietuva 2000

a new millennium
viewed with trepidation
by people of a former empire
knowing that they live
between the political tectonic plates
of Russia and Europe

a fragile flower
striving for the sun
rue that hides under trees
waiting until the winter is over

the taste of freedom
goes down so easily
but can turn bitter
when it doesn't deliver the goods
