An old one (2013), probably familiar, but one of those poems that feels to me like it has always existed, that each word is inevitable.

This may have been the first poem I read by Ilya Kaminsky. If not, it was the first one that made me take note of his name (and read as much of his poetry as I could get my hands on). I actually thought of it yesterday, reading this poem, much more recent.
