The Lord, you hear? The Lord, Simple Lie? –
Spring floated high in the blue.
On the back street at midnight out
happy girls. It was - two.
But the third of them - behind them
streak, inaudible, in flashlight beam.
He was unknown… one unknown:
she thought… it seemed, close fireworks.
But blue and midnight blue shimmered,
this, mleya, burning polnoshumnoy spring.
And one said,… "Do you hear? - he said, –
ABOUT, how scary, friend… to be with you".
And there was this girl in white… in white,
And another - in black… Does your daughter?
And one - weak body trembled,
And the other - laughing, He fled into the night…
you hear, Jesus? Pity! ABOUT, pity!
other, laughing, I ran away…
And in the street dead, remained desolate…
Remained… Third, she and night.
But, it seemed, close… It seemed, close
anxiously wanders, nearly dawn whitens…
But the blue canopy fell so low
And I drew the last lantern light.
There was a blue curtain. There was a long twilight.
And the night passed them, drunk.
And when in the grass glistened Shard,
She was all alone.
And the first rays stretched thread,
And the weak hands grabbed the thread…
But since the city, Death buzzing events,
Somewhere, long away, I began to live….
Was a love potion - in a red pack of banknotes,
And the dawn scared. But the hand of Fate
Someone gave the city of extravagant excess,
And poisoned dust flew poles.
Neighbors approached and whispered tiresome.
Smoky blue-gray old man leaning on a crutch -
And all around was stuffy… In the fields odnozvuchno
Invisible laughed - and threw dust.
In this firestorm hugged it tight
Dusty dirty land fiery furnace…
good god! hast done, to firmly become easier!
Turn from thy smashing and punishing sword!
And responded sky: amid the dust and hustle
Archangel appeared with gray-hand:
It seemed - He came from a small shop,
And it seemed, that He was - smeared with flour…
But it tore the firmament. And the land rested.
The rain falls silent song distant wheels…
And the crowd roared. I dread hohotala.
Angel white girl into his house, took the.
