NOT FOR YOU THE PLATITUDES OF RECOGNITIONS
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)
Not for you the platitudes of recognitions
And the waves of erotic pleasures,
Half-truth of raptures of the boring love dates
And lips, outlined a drooped laugh and soul's ache...
In my eyes you as alive from my life book -
Elastic body, slightly mocking look,
As if the Sky, sculpting an woman, not stone, -
Had grasped the meaning delight's unkoown.
Our movements are passionate and sinless,
Eyes, shyly in the night, in dark sinking, -
So the wood goblin play with the mermaid,
And, hiding, they one another signs sends:
"I am"
And the risible sources, purling, echo them,
But, their noise in the high grass wane.
