"November 23" (Czeslaw Milosz)

"November 23"
A long train is standing at the station and the platform
is empty.
Winter, night, the frozen sky is flooded with red.
Only a woman’s weeping is heard. She’s pleading
for something
from an officer in a stone coat.
–Czeslaw Milosz
from Collected Poems: 1931-1987
