Top of the silver firs
and the sky in the infinity
... are touching

 

Morn

Early sun ...
blackberry and dew drop
are shining

 

Not bloomed
rosebuds are quiet...
duration of the rainbow

 

The morning cocks...
above the skyscrapers
the new moon


Day
... and night

 

Hugged in the park
a boy and a girl
...clouds ...birds..

 

A silk rose
on the girl's breasts
in bloom

 

Sitting on the river bank
the children's smile is coming back
... worries down the river

 

In old woman's bag
vegetables and two yellow
tulips from market

 

From the telephone book
obituaries erase
names of friends

 

Steppe falcon
from wire of transmission line
is looking for its prey

 

Twilight above the plain...
a flock of crows
on the transmission line

 

Drought...
praying mantis on the blade of grass
is still waiting

 

Cliffs and the sky
... and the persistent look
of the clear lake

 

Skulls in the wall of tower...
souls of rebels
in the eye-sockets

 

War
... and Peace

 

Long winter night...
war threats .. inflation..
wainting for tomorrow

 

On the site of the fire ...
scream of the lonely man
in the darkness of the world !...

 

Rain and death...
burnt houses... dead bodies
.. It's cold !

.

.."Air raid warning!!"
on a shelter's stone wall
lonely pigeon

 

Dusk goes down...
sky is waiting for
the Apocalypse's riders

 

Sirens.. explosions...
fear and hope
change their places

 

The fires...
deeds of mind and hands are
burning.. the Sky too

 

Ruined hall of the theater...
the bust of poet
is left upright

 

Summer .. and Peace!!..
the street is winning by
scent of lime trees

 

Walk.. two left legs
and cruches of two invalids
of war and peace

 


Cosmos
.. Presentiments

 

Dusk is falling
... traces of teh jet
illuminated by the moon

 

Hieroglyphs on the wall...
from the shadows of the letters is reaching
a chirp of sparrows

 

Excavations :
bones and jewelry...
princess ?
