| Notes | The speaker of the poem comments on the issue of nuclear waste - calling it 'the frozen tears' of civilization. He notes concerns related to the disposal of this waste - how can it be gotten rid of without polluting waterways, rivers, and lakes? The mention of the silver chains of heaven is unusual - it could refer to some method of waste disposal, perhaps. Interestingly, this poem was published before the events of Chernobyl. |
