I DON'T EXPECT MIRACLES
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)
I don't expect miracles for a long time
And now lost count of days mine.
The memory (in spite to the heart )
Is shrinking, having breaked the thread.
In a random dream, wandering,
Suddenly I had seen:
You are riding on unbridled horse,
Blowing horn.
Maybe I am losing my mind
At the end of my years page?
Or go to beg - is fate my?
Or is waiting me a steel cage?
I will accept everything and forgive everything
Except for just one thing:
Every moment I beg you:
Pass my house. And that's truth.
I would light a fire, if I could
(Flame up to Heaven's - burning sunset)
And from the face Earth I would erased
The our common forest sad.
But ... Goddess - you ... Not for me -
To judge your choice. Besides,
Me pity - on sacrificial fires life's
Impossible to burn memory.
