One More Window There Poem by Vic Postnikov

One more window there
Where they stay awake
Maybe - drink the wine
Maybe - while away
Maybe - holding hands
Maybe - cannot part -
Two devoted friends
Stay awake all night.

Shouting of the two -
Window in the night!
Maybe - moonlight beam
Maybe - candle light...
Such a window burst
In my own life -
And the peace is lost
In my own mind.

Pray for me, my friend
For the sleepless night
For the window fire
For the shining light!

- Marina Tsvetaeva,1916
