"water's edge"

"rainy road II"

"Aware" by Denise Levertov

When I found the door

I found the vine leaves

speaking among themselves in abundant

whispers.

My presence made them

hush their green breath,

embarrassed, the way

humans stand up, buttoning their jackets,

acting as if they were leaving anyway, as if

the conversation had ended

just before you arrived.

I liked

the glimpse I had, though,

of their obscure

gestures. I liked the sound

of such private voices. Next time

I'll move like cautious sunlight, open

the door by fractions, eavesdrop

peacefully.

― Denise Levertov

А Вам я Небо напишу, 

И званый бал цветов и листьев, 

И свечи звезд не погашу – 

Ведь в сказке нужен свет их истин. 

Нужны надежды и мечты, 

Скользящие по глади пруда, 

И дар любви и красоты – 

Хотя бы маленькое – чудо. 

Еще – часы переведу 

На много дней назад и в вечность! 

― Уджал Ахвердиев

"red leaf"

of all the colourful leaves on the ground a young couple fell in love 

with precisely this one, eagerly took it with them right after I had a single shot, 

and not before kindly asking if I would be keeping it, to myself. "of course, not," 

was my answer, "eternity has it now." the earth blushing. I smile.
