evening darkness  comes to place  that is good to leave...

Sviatoslav Zhabotynskyi

evening darkness 
comes to place 
that is good to leave

 

people and houses 
live apart 
from their stories

 

goose herder comes alone - 
geese have flown away

 

they stole a bottle of port 
from his jacket pocket

 

wind dumps old lady down - 
she had slept
leaning on a stick

 

wind touches autumn lilac
like heart of silkworm

 

little homeless people 
clean the shoes of those who come
to the cemetery of the pipers

 

that's why 
in this country 
everyone has such dirty shoes
