All will pass like smoke of white apple trees
Seized by the gold of autumn,

fancy that!”

And took the whole incident

worthy.”

“А потом…
А потом, потом будет небо
и тихая синева,
потом, потом будет вера
и падающая синева.
Потом откроется правда,
так жаль, что поздно уже,
и будет тихой наградой
птица сидеть на плече.
И будет тихое небо
и шелестящий покой,
и будет тихой свирелью
играть на рассвете прибой.”

“Надо жить у моря, мама, надо делать, что нравится, и по возможности ничего не усложнять; это ведь только вопрос выбора, мама: месяцами пожирать себя за то, что не сделано, упущено и потрачено впустую – или решить, что оставшейся жизни как раз хватит на то, чтобы все успеть, и приняться за дело;”

“И только любовь
Однажды Ветер подружился с Тишиной.
Она была молчаливой и спокойной.
Это было так странно,
и так не похоже на него самого.
И он полюбил её.
И они гуляли вместе
по бескрайним полям.
И он поднимал её
и проносил над удивленным морем.
Потому что море знало –
если есть Ветер,
то нет – Тишины,
а если есть Тишина – то нет Ветра.
И только любовь
может соединить несоединимое
и связать воедино противоположное.”

“Когда я понимаю жизни суть
и обрываю все свои догадки,
тогда я понимаю – мы чуть-чуть
играем в смерть, а в жизнь играем вряд ли.
Прощаем всех, хотя бы иногда,
несем себя в небесном отраженье.
Я понимаю, жизни смерть – игра,
надежда на природы одолженье.
И сутью упиваюсь на заре,
и уношусь в огромном дилижансе,
я понимаю – солнце не в игре,
и смерть бледна в печальном сером танце.
Снежинок снова путь из окон неба,
мне созидает небо звездный путь.
Я понимаю вновь – мы все из неба
и в сути жизни – смерти больше суть.”

“Так тихо
Так тихо, что слышно,
как ходит Тишина
в белой одежде облаков.
Так тихо, что слышно,
как восходит солнце
из-за темных старых гор.
Молодой день входит в город.
Утренние птицы у него на плечах.
Тишина прощается с городом –
Так тихо,
что слышно, как раскрываются
утренние цветы.
________________
So quiet that you can hear
how the silence walks
dressed in white clouds.
So quiet that you can hear
as the sun rises
because of the dark old mountains.
A young day enters the city.
Morning birds on his shoulders.
Silence says goodbye to the city -
So quiet,
what is heard, how they are revealed
morning flowers.”

“* * *
По белой бумаге скользят небеса,
из ручки спокойно стекают слова,
и кораблями в века, по столу,
и в небо, и в душу,
в прощальность; В саду
сидит тихо кот, и гуляет собака,
и птица на ветке,
вот там – в полумраке.
По белым по строчкам
скользят небеса,
и птицею с неба
приходят слова.”

“My Russia My Responsibility (The Sonnet)
Moya Rossiya, moya lyubov, I am sorry,
That the world has turned its back on us.
But can you really blame them when,
We accepted a terrorist as a leader of ours!
Awake, arise, my brave comrades,
Drink deep from the valor of Volga.
I say, enough with apathy, for it is high time,
To sanitize our land against all domestic virus.
We let a terrorist loose on our neighbors,
And all that bloodshed is on our hands.
Even now if we don't mend our horrific error,
One savage will turn our world into a wasteland.
Mnogo te obicham, for you are still my home.
To humanize our home is the duty of none but our own.”

“Something always remains unrealized, rejecting encapsulation in words, as if there were not yet in existence words to express it all....
"I hate the idea of fixed collectivism, in which faces are erased in the name of faceless-ness.
It is a miserable parody of what overcoming isolation really means. Isolation grows even deeper if it becomes collective. But every face has its inner face, of which we are sometimes wary, or else downright afraid. If we only stopped being frightened of revealing to each other these inner faces, we would see how close and akin to one another, how inseparable we really are. Only masks hate one another. Our faces cannot hate one another; but our faces are covered by masks."- from "The Face Behind the Face”
