| Notes | Short poem describing the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear explosion in April 1986. The poisoning and heavy showers in the poem reflect the fear of radioactive weather and rain that would spread the fallout over Europe. The 'new country' comment might refer to the total transformation of the land surrounding Chernobyl itself. |
