B.Fox, Here The Sky Was Absent.. - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

By Black Fox

Here the sky was absent. I thought - that would pass...
I went to home, in a year - I returned.
But air had become so heavy, water kind.
Is this the very place I need to go?

The house absent was, too; there the air
The heavy air followed me, step by step,
Though not coming nearer, and scared
It flew out, it all had gone to end.

Then, as a fish, I opened my mouth,
And breathed through the gills I ran the oxygen,
And made myself to water worth...
And sky was absent henceforth. Nowhere.
