Lady's Hands Were Washed... Poem by Vladislav Khodasevich

Lady's Hands Were Washed...



Lady's hands were washed and serviced,
Lady's hands were strongly stirred,
This good Lady didn't forget, else,
A red neck that was cut here.

Poor Lady, with her fears,
Shakes in her bed like a birdie.
She didn't sleep for hundred years -
I didn't - for six years in order.

Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, December, 2000
