Red // Light



Then  the  sun,
setting behind the houses,

pointed as though with a finger
at everything red in the street --

the red tops of the dragoons’ caps,
a red flag trailing on the ground,
and the red specks and threads
   of blood on the snow.

-- Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
(1957; transl. Hayward & Harari)
