Gennadij Ajgi Poems

this tranquillity
wind over the ravine by-People-called-shamelessly-Ravine
...

Yellow water
in the stockyard —
far away and cold, a priori,
...

so that I
in myself should pray,
...

but
at last I draw near there is no-one there never was
...

Suddenly
I understand I remember your soul
observing in mist far away
...

Like snow the Lord that is
and is what is the snows
when the soul is what is
...

It has set
(kupolya kupoleli)
...

Oh
sky blue
and
...

With the sway of the forest's hem
the line departed — smiles among them — vanished
...

In the invisible glow
of pulverized melancholy
I know uselessness like the poor know their last piece of clothing
...
