From sidelines
It seems I have always sat here watching men like you —  who turn heads, whose gaze is always either a kiss or a slap or the whiplash of pure disregard. Why fret? All you’re doing is walking. You’re this year’s It, the one righteous integer of cool cruising down a great-lipped channel of hushed adoration, women turned girls again, brightening in spite of themselves. That brave, wilting smile — you don’t see it, do you? How she tells herself to move on; blinks until she can.

Пиріг із медом (UA)
Крокуй до раю, крокуй до мене. Гаряча кава, пиріг із медом. Або якщо забажаєш — ромашковий чай. Приходь до мене. Будь ласка. Приїжджай. Крокуй до двері, а я у чашку відріжу лимона ломтик. На столі — пиріг із медом, а мені найсолодший твій дотик.

I Saw a Dream
I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.
