День января

A day of January –
its smoky crystal’s
melted by moistened winds
with rain and snow.
A couple on the road
leading to the northern sea;
the path is wet and beaten,
framed by ice-kissed fir-trees.
Surrealism of senseless objects -
Back-yards of cottages that, nailed for winter,
are filled with shadowy ghosts of summer…
Soul of the sea got drained by worries,
and pitch-black steaming open wound
was pulled together by an icy crust.
So, clinging to each other, the two look tensely
at the wind-drive, snow-swaddled sea
and learn the lesson of its patient calmness.
