V igol'chatykh chumnykh bokalakh

Language: Russian

V igol'chatykh chumnykh bokalakh
My p'jom navazhden'e prichin,
Kasajemsja krjuch'jami malykh,
Kak ljogkaja smert', velichin.
I tam, gde scepilis' birjul'ki,
Rebjonok molchan'e khranit,
Bol'shaja vselennaja v ljul'ke
U malen'koj vechnosti spit.

From needle‑shaped pestilential glasses

Language: English

From needle-shaped pestilential glasses
We drink the obsession of reasons,
We touch by the hooks the small --
As-simple-death Quantities.
And there where the spillikins are chained
The baby keeps silence,
The Great Universe is sleeping
In the cradle of a small eternity.
