ACCIDENTAL FLAME OF LIFE
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)
Among catastrophes and oecumenical tragedies ,
Between blazing stars and gaping holes
Against background of vast expanses and gigantic masses
Are barely audible the life clavier sounds.
Is swaying if this accidental flame of life at zero -
The result of cataclysms of Times and Worlds?
Or it a symbol of matter? Or a banner of Spirit
On the crest of events? Or a whim of the Gods?
Alas, I can't comprehend either meaning or essence
Of light, flickering in the wind, morning breeze more,
Even if I give up my time until the last minute, in stress,
Or even having mounted this or another hobby-horse.
