somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

	И вам спасибо. Это я цитировал для своей жены, с которой нас разлучили. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	я поняла, backspaced_boy 2007-04-21 09:00 am UTC (link)
	и я тоже писала про Вашу жену. я думаю, с таким резонансом, который мы уже видим, ситуация не может не разрешиться в Вашу пользу. это очень человеческая ситуация, ужас которой кожей ощущается, даже если не иметь своих детей и опыта общения с власть имущими. (Reply to this)(Parent)
