Crucifix, a poem by Anna Akhmatova

allspirit.co.uk/anna.html#crucifix

(From the All Spirit website)

Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to universalised, ingeniously structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935-40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her work addresses a variety of themes including time and memory, the fate of creative women, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. (From Wikipedia)
