I like Sally Plumb Plumb's comment on this piece. I admire and esteem honesty in students of literature. At times I thought I had a grip on what this poem was about [a prostitute] but the very next stanza would not only show me that I hadn't a clue but made me think I was altogether on the wrong street corner [so to speak]. Like Sally says, we learn far more when we admit a poem is hard to understand but we'll try again. Maybe I'll do a little research. The author's name sounds Russian so maybe this work is hard to pin down because it has something to do with Russian history or culture.
