Я видел сон: мы в древнем склепе
Схоронены; а жизнь идет
Вверху — всё громче, всё нелепей;
И день последний настает.
Чуть брежжит утро Воскресенья.
Труба далекая слышна.
Над нами — красные каменья
И мавзолей из чугуна.
И он идет из дымной дали;
И ангелы с мечами — с ним;
Такой, как в книгах мы читали,
Скучая и не веря им.
Под аркою того же свода
Лежит спокойная жена;
Но ей не дорога свобода:
Не хочет воскресать она…
И слышу, мать мне рядом шепчет:
«Мой сын, ты в жизни был силен:
Нажми рукою свод покрепче,
И камень будет отвален». —
«Нет, мать. Я задохнулся в гробе,
И больше нет бывалых сил.
Молитесь и просите обе,
Чтоб ангел камень отвалил».

a mare called night
she stays till dawn
she drinks the light
she waits alone
she lingers on
she cries the stars
extinct and cold
she leaves no scars
she paints in gold
she hugs so tight
and lulls to sleep
don’t cry, oh child
the dream so deep
her cloven hooves
enswathed in white
a mare called night
the mare called night
mare called night

lyrics
идут года, не снишься ты
увязла ночь как в пелене
под звук дождя поют мосты
всё та же комната во сне
скрипящий пол, пустые стены
и ветра гул в пяти углах
и капля ржавчины по венам
и пустота в кромешных снах
рассвет ленив, теряет силу
сдается молча темноте
лишь боли верь, копай могилу
она не станет лгать мечте
и свет и тьма, на смену коже
тончает плоть, померкнет взор
обитель нашу потревожив,
парит перо ветрам в укор

reveal the unspoken
defeat the unbroken
the bond once so sacred
it now fell forsaken
her eyrie is hollow
with silence adorned
turned into a crown
of bleeding thorns
to die of a broken heart
her branches were torn apart
her roots unearthed - the work of art
like the death of a broken heart
and no more to dwell the fear
the pain and despair so near
the cries no one else can hear
the light she can see so clear
those wounded birds i could never forget
her sublime unblossomed sorrow
and her lashes with pearlescent droplets beset
when the piano turns silent tomorrow

a feather dancing in the storm
will show you where to go
to fly above, forget the swarm
or plummet down below
a lifeless bird a broken seed
cannot disperse to bloom
the reckoning is imminent
within the barren womb
and you insist you don’t exist
afraid to fall asleep
you trust your pain, as only she
will know to bury deep
the guilt is forged so seamlessly
a ghostly silhouette
delivers phantom melody
prostrated hands, unbroken thread
the thickened skin unease betrays
eyes glistering with anguish
the glaring through the palest haze
bound to the endless languish
but you insist you don’t exist
afraid to fall asleep
you trust your pain, as only she
will know to bury deep

Metastasis

она не запомнит наших лиц
пустых голосов, фальшивых границ
но на теле ее, на истерзанной коже
будут шрамы зиять,
время ей не поможет
не покрыть этих ран, не забыть этой боли
не для всех нас охота пуще неволи
мы топтапли, мы жгли, мы хлестали плетьми
отравляя в веках, усыпали костьми
истязали глумясь, не считаясь с ценой
один раз ведь живем, все сомненья долой
бороздили поля, орошенные ядом
провожали гробы сожалеющим взгдядом
ультиматум истек, и монодия льется
по иссохшим брегам, испаряясь во мгле
не смогли уберечь, в руки нам не дается
только тени ползут, по распятой земле

i died with you
that dazzling morning
the navel cord
was made of air
your holler stabbed
dismaying warning
like rusty dagger
ruthless blare
i wasn’t there
but there we were
decaying light
the burning myrrh
to watch you breathe
it must befall
they say he lives
and loves us all
the moth, she knows
to seek the light
won’t keep her warm
the shine’s unkind
the rusty cage
the wire’s tight
i died with you
but we survived

River of Red

still she cries, her laments unheard
tacit moans, they drown in dirt
still she lies so betrayed, so idle
and no more are her waters tidal
quiet shores slowly withering
tired winds prayers whispering
broken waves, final breath is near
through her veins scarlet drops so sheer
they’ve forgotten
her blessed purpose
blinded by all the gold on her surface
wrenched entrails
gnawed by carrion crows
left to dry and die, she knows
her waters red
like dying sun
tears turned to glass
her path undone
her time has come
the flow is over
the poison’s spread
silent mourner

Emerald Death

an eye she gives to take an eye
in darkness leaves the world
a heart it takes to have a heart
for blinded to behold
the palest skin you cannot see
it drowns bathed in light
for futile be the summoning
the dance of candlelight
and you can try to cover
but you can never hide
i am my lover’s lover
i am my mother’s child
but thirty three unbraided wicks
the burning won’t ignite
their shadows gasp on shores of Styx
when called upon by the light
enthrall, beguile, so poisonous
so luscious, so unkind
and bones are dancing frantically,
turns emerald your sight
and you can try to cover
but you can never hide
she is my lover’s lover
she is my mother’s child

So Without

i had a dream, an ancient tomb
we’re buried, life goes on
up there, so loud, so absurd
he’s here, the final dawn
the glimmer of the Sunday morn
the distant trumpet’s crying
above us red as blood is stone
the final dwelling of cast-iron.
and here he comes from drifting smoke
armed with the swords his angels
just like unnumbered pages spoke
bored and untrusting strangers
beneath the arch of deepest vault
a quiet wife asleep
her freedom is not dear to her:
her dreams are oh so deep...
and i can hear my mother’s whisper:
"son, so strong you were in life:
"press with your hand the vault more firmly,
stones will roll away in strife." -
"no, mother, smothered in the coffin
no more of my old strength’s left
you both should pray and beg for angels,
to move the stone, deliver the bereft"
