My Poems Poem by Vic Postnikov

My Poems

My poems written so early
I didn't know myself a poet,
Spatter like a fountain pearly,
Or spit like a rocket.

My poems dash like devils
Into a sanctuary sleepy and pious,
Telling of youth and perils
In unknown rhymes.

Scattered 'mid bookstore dust,
Cast like pearls before swines,
My poems shall see their days
Like aged wines.


- Marina Tsvetaeva,1913
Trans. Vic Postnikov,2012
