The Poems Grow Like Stars, Or Roses Poem by Vic Postnikov

The Poems Grow Like Stars, Or Roses

The poems grow like stars, or roses,
Like beauty useless in the family;
For endings or apotheosis
I do not claim authority.

We dream, and through the plates of stone -
A heavens' guest with syllables;
Admit: the poets in their dreams
See clues to things insoluble.

- Marina Tsvetaeva,1918
Trans. Vic Postnikov,2010
