Male portrait

Анна Борисовна Кононова
What a portrait, my friend,
 Almost alive
 And the speaker:
   & quot;Stop!
 & nbsp;Pray, comrade in no hurry!"
 
 What a soulful look!
 Who took pictures like that! — Not nine by twelve!
 Thoughtful, clear and at the same time happy,
 Boyish and like a hundred and twenty years old.
 
 One face full-face, and immediately bzik:
 Draw your figure.
 But I can't... And a draft
 Flies, all crumpled up, somewhere in an urn.
 
 And I say to myself: "you Can't!"
 After all, he-alive, still hear.
 And moistened with tenderness eyes,
 Like dews, and I smell, thank God, breathes.
