We are rich: we have nothing to lose Poem by Vera Pavlova

We are rich: we have nothing to lose



We are rich: we have nothing to lose.
We are old: we have nowhere to rush.
We shall fluff the pillows of the past,
poke the embers of the days to come,
talk about what means the most
as the indolent daylight fades;
we shall lay to rest our undying dead:
I shall bury you, you will bury me.

Translation: Steven Seymour
