Budapest

This is the town of Tibor
who came to Canada
and tried to teach us soccer

These are the bullet holes
from f ifty six 
when he was sixteen

Bullet holes made
by him shooting at Russians
or by Russians shooting at him

Here is the statue of Imre Nagy
standing on a bridge looking west
for the promised help that never came
