The doors


I left doors open,
And with the morning hubbub
of spring
the childhood memories,
flew into the room ringing:

laughter and light-
heartedness,
pink and brown bows;
alike for 2 sisters
amazing waffle dresses
with flowers;
а sultry summer,
walking on sizzling
hot asphalt
at the camp site,
and sitting up trees,
watching dance couples...

I have not closed the doors
of my soul...

extra cloud


Never thought -
        to make you happy
    I need to draw
               only one extra cloud
     in clear sky

Secrets of the craft


               my translation, based on the poem by Anna Ahkmatova (1899-1966)

I do not need the odic armies,
and the elegiac beauty of ploys.
For me, in the poems all should be amiss,
not about the human joy.


If you only knew, from whence
poems grow, without shame,
like the yellow dandelion by the fence,
like burdock and sesame.


An angry shout, the smell of fresh tar,
the mysterious mold on the wall...
And the verse sounds perky, tender
to the delight of all.
