Семь шагов за горизонт [Semʹ shagov za gorizont] [English translation]
Семь шагов за горизонт [Semʹ shagov za gorizont] [English translation]
The sky swayed beneath two feet
And news flew to a distant land
Thunderstorms and stardust
Bloomed in anxious circles
A free sailing ship, an obedient stream
Seven mischievous steps beyond the horizon
Following the footsteps of determined volunteers
Through the icy depths of dried up rivers
Through the floods of emptied wells
Into candied fear, into undiscovered boats
A long night is like a short little day
Seven mischievous steps beyond the horizon
A punished son didn’t have time to grow up
A whiny oar refused to row
A stubborn parachute didn’t open in due time
And a stray boomerang dared to believe that, as they say —
there’s no turning back
there’s no turning back
there’s no turning back
there’s no turning back
But no, it’s better that you listen as the rain digs its teeth into your palms
Listen as a mouse runs through your throat
Listen as a gap opens under your heart
As winter swirls in your stomach
As an earthy lichen creeps along your spine
As a mountain stream flows into your eye sockets
As a persistent dandelion breaks through the asphalt
As hidden transparent doors rust as quietly as they can
Listen as rye sprouts through your skin
Listen as a mouse runs through your throat
Listen as laughter bubbles in your stomach
Listen as your rainbow runs through echoing veins
A sweet rainbow...
A loud rainbow...
As on a branch of an apple tree a star ripens
It’s tiny, late, cute, loving...
Listen as stray round dances of wooden brides
Wander around abandoned villages...
Listen as the rye sways under your heart
Listen as a mouse runs through your throat
Listen as the night swells in your stomach
As a stem stabs your palm
As milk lazily dries on your lips
As a clump of worms turns in your liver
As grasshoppers wiggle in hollow amber1
Plunging into an exhausting flight
To nowhere, from nowhere...
That’s all good, that’s all fine
The nameless bunny is scared
Under a wide eyed fence in suffocating darkness
Scared of his intricate, raw intestines...
.................
The sky collapsed under two feet
And news flew to a distant land
A stormy surface, a starry swamp
Burst into thawing circles
A free sailing ship, an obedient stream
Seven mischievous steps beyond the horizon
Seven icy bridges beyond the horizon
Seven flooding monsoons beyond the horizon
