My Husband Poem by Liza Sud

My Husband

My husband - he is very great,
bigger than a bear, a wardrobe,
his touches heaven by his head,
is wider than the earth globe.

The stars in his hands he may hold,
skies of the second level.
But why is he not from the third? -
it's because I'm his helpmate.

because I am - from the first one,
we have to go in sync -
by stairs. He cuddles by the lights,
and his arms - are so big!

After him - I don't see earth men.
only by chance, by error,
and then I think that I hate them -
but it's just the rage for Heaven,

it seems to me that all distracts
from our copulating -
of Soul and Light, but can't disrupt
like Christ with the Church wedding.


***
Мой муж
Мой муж - очень большой,
он больше медведя, шкафа,
до неба он головой,
и шире земного шара.

Он держит звезды на руках,
на небесах второго уровня.
а почему не третьего тогда? -
да потому что я его подруга

и потому, что я - лишь с первого,
а мы должны идти синхронно,
по ступеням. Он обнимает светами,
его объятия - огромны.

После Него - земных мужей не вижу я.
лишь иногда, в ошибке зрения,
мне кажется, что ненавижу их -
но это от тоски по Небу и

мне кажется, что все нас отвлекает
от нашего совокупления -
Души со Светом, но не разрушает
венчанье наше, как Христа со Церковью.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 04 June 2016

This poem creates an exaggerated figure of the husband as a non-threatrening giant, a figure who conveys power but no threat or meanness. Despite his size and strength he's really just a nice guy. But the poem suddenly turns with these lines I THINK THAT I HATE EARTH MEN / BUT IT'S JUST THE RAGE FOR HEAVEN. A complicated line but it's a familar contrast between the small good of earthtly possessions versus the eternal good of heavenly things: there's no comparison of the purely human/earthly person versus the divine reality. This poem a striking display of imaginative energy.
