«The White Clouds of My Childhood»

 
 
 
 
 
 

«I died in 1914 year in Gulyay-poleh, autumn late, to sobbing of rain, vaguely peeping out from amalgam of cracked looking-glass.

On 27th of January 1953 year on 87, Zhukovskogo Street, in town of Faporozhye, whole my past life instantly flashed before me and with the cry of new-born sunk into oblivion...

Old lantern swinging down cold wind of Dnepr, noted with surprise that in constellation of Aquarius appeared a silver dish with stuffed pike - «what it betokens?», - he thought.

I was born!

There is chaos of space and time. There is a bulb in the black socket. There is warm tenderness of maternal milk.

There are green dreams. There is feeling of eternity.

There is alarming ultramarine of night window. There is pink light of lampshade. There is rainbow of black disc. «A tango - this is old record:» There is smell of fried fish.

There are Maria and Boris. There is rustling of maple. There is whisper before dawn - «let us went away!»

It is parting sigh of locomotive.
It is shrilling siren,
Blue shadows, running away from the train
«Zaporozhye-Mariupol».
The childhood,
It will rest here for ever,
On the left bank of the Kalmius River,
On the second plot,
In the house number one,
In communal flat 43.
