Poems - New Year's Eve.

{} Protein, 1999


  New Year's I met at the top Goverly
- The highest point of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Full Time
Moon, the gray rock, licked by the wind neve
(Packed snow) - this is the last thing I saw in the old year 
and the first - in the New. A More - Panorama Winter 
Carpathians and the lights of the villages ... 

  A bottle of champagne - and immediately down: cold to wade 
bones wind - not best friend. But still images and

feelings.

  Happy New Year!



                New Year


     When the world cracked

     Swept away by the wind to infinity

     From the ridge, leaning into eternity

     From the top, ragged flirt;

     When on the stasis slope

     Walked to the beginning of January

     How edinichki being

     The fate of dozens of weary,

     When crashed deception

     Their innermost hopes

     Collapsed heap of desires

     And the flock as a night fog

     Among the rocks, snow and ice

     The cold, bright moonlight

     In response, the fate of a single

     Suddenly eclipsed the beauty.
