Rotation for Yuri Gagarin Artjom Kavalevski The sun on the surface of the steel rocket was melting: Embracing him – Man, were the rays. All the light pouring into the young face – Years, centuries, just that he will remain. Here he is alone, here he is unique, But there – multiplied, there – fractured Into a billion billion Y.G. The verticals of space, of the atmosphere Like needles through him passed, Then – free of them once away. Look – how perfect the movement Of man on the photograph! Lift-off – higher and higher (but this not straight away) He – is the first nail in the heavenly planks The nameplate on the blue doors With the inscription Y.G. And – everywhere – Y.G. He touched: Y.G. Y.G. Y.G. He ranked: Y.G. Y.G. Y.G. He achieved: Y.G. Y.G. Y.G. He returned: Y.G. Y.G. Y.G. …………………............................... The little girl shouted loudly into her mother’s ear: Y.G.! ………………………………………………........................................................ An echo – Y.G. …………….............. He’s up there – Y.G. ……………........................ Beyond recall Y.G. 203

On the Tail of Autumn<br />

A butterfly descends<br />

Into the spider’s web softly...<br />

As the summer into autumn...<br />

At eight – peacefully and darkly<br />

And unusually hesitant.<br />

I am swaying, floating<br />

Under the magnifying glass of the last drop of summer,<br />

Beams breaking through the felt,<br />

Of a guarded silence.<br />

During a pause, the evening slips,<br />

Places upon the shoulders<br />

Of the transparent Milky Way<br />

A numb silence...<br />

...then wings grow.<br />

Oh, autumn!<br />

Artjom Kavalevski<br />

The Metamorphosis<br />

They stood mighty and solid, the pillars of our firsts<br />

And then firsts again, and seconds, and thirds,<br />

But then so monotonous,<br />

Still our own (but first) goodbye-shots.<br />

And it was a thieving winter. And us it hunted.<br />

But we did not care and cried...<br />

...the pillars still kept on standing.<br />

And we would laugh so idiotically, melt snow on our lips:<br />

Magical ice cream!<br />

The metamorphosis of the little sunny hare into a moon wolf<br />

Was not at all so sudden:<br />

Enough of our happiness he had seen<br />

Not in retreat but...at it howling –<br />

We took this to be our lullaby:<br />

Mhm ay ay – mhm ay ay – ay...<br />
