To Support Isinbayeva Poem by Liza Sud

To Support Isinbayeva

Why do poets keep silence,
in Russia, and throughout the world?
where is their bilingual talent?
After Brodsky all of them froze?

If for all in the high jump
Isinbayeva is the best -
Even taking a drug on chest,
You can never repeat that.

And you can never cross the ocean
like our Konyukhov, with a ton,
with a ton of enhancing doping,
cause his rows are spiritual.

Undershot - it is not a tragedy,
not allowed - the weakness of cravens.
But the truth - it is always sprouting,
and your work is assessed by heavens!


***


Почему поэты молчат,
и в России, и во всем мире?
где же их билингвальный талант?
после Бродского все зыстыли?

Если мы по прыжкам в высоту
с Исимбаевой всех выше -
Даже допинг приняв на грудь,
то же - точно не повтори те.

И не переплыть океан
вам, как Конюхов, даже с тонной,
с тонной допинга - просто так,
раз на веслах плывет духовность.

Не трагедия - недолет,
трусость слабости: не пустили.
Только правда всегда взойдет,
в Небесах ваш труд - оценили!
