A PICTURE FROM CHILDHOOD
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)
Hiding at night in the snow from frost,
Sleeping the boulders.
Sparkles of snowflakes.
The trees are froze.
In moonlight, twinkling,
The footprints stretch
after runners of sledge .
Both cheeks and nose the frost is stinging,
and it's not a joke...
Cap in the rime. Smog...
At last - long-awaited to the river slope.
Forgetting for a moment about others,
The forest
is seeing off us... Rather home
To the hot old small stove.
Childhood's paintings... How are pleasant sometimes
The forgotten meetings with them... by candlelights.
