threw them a handful of seeds,
they scattered in fear...
silly (what their faces?..) - chickadees!

just missed
yesterday's rain
fresh cut flowers

barely
missed the rain...
fresh cut flowers

shuffling at first
they finally hit their stride -
pants on the clothesline

summer night.
as I open a window -
the cool sound of a train

the cool sound of a train
in an open window
summer night

Sunny day.
A cat watches prey
With his eyes closed.

Ice breaking ...
In the middle of the river
A toilet seat

Chilly morning
His cologne
Feels even colder

Какая луна!
Давай
Подойдем поближе.

What a moon!
Let's
Get nearer.

дети в лесу
всю собрали
грустнику

children stripped
the forest of all
its gloomberries

Вместо жены
Обнял соседку:
Ночной туман.

hugging neighbor's wife
instead of his own -
evening fog

В грязной лужице
С арбузными корками
Огрызок луны.

In a dirty puddle
full of watermellon rinds -
moon leftovers

Весенний поток.
Бревно Очумелое
Меж тающих льдин.

Spring torrent.
A crazy log among
melting ice chunks

падающая звезда -
не успел сказать желание,
только имя

a shooting star -
no time for a wish,
only her name

смеркается...
в спальне цветы на обоях
закрываются на ночь

getting dark...
in the bedroom wallpaper flowers
close for the night

Новогодняя ночь.
Возле искусственной елки
Делаю вид, что счастлив...

Christmas eve.
By this artificial tree
I pretend to be happy...

печалишься...
ямочки на щеках
наполняются слезами

you are feeling sad...
[your] dimples
fill up with tears


feeling sad...
her dimples
fill up with tears

welcome! welcome!
at the spring's entrance
bellflowers chime

morning fog...
a white dress dissolves
off the clothesline

your letter
after being read -
watecolors

your letter
being
read

w a t e r c o l o r s

There must be a meaning:
On the door handle
a left sock...

There must be a meaning:
On the right-handed door knob
a left-footed sock...
