Is it true
that the sea is fiction?
And
happiness? Do not believe it!
Do not
believe the captains
Who sold
it!
And do not
believe the hookers either
Who forgot
it!
And don’t
believe the poets
Who lost
it!
The sea’s not
fiction
And
happiness exists!
You only
need to listen
To the
silence of your heart.
You only
need to reach out
Your hand,
to smile
At someone
and to give him back
What
captains and what hookers
Took –
Oh, just a
bit
Of your own
faith in trees,
In those
most happy premonitions,
In greeting
friends,
In
workdays, and then in a flash
You’ll find
the sea…
The bluest
and most radiant
Will smile
in your eyes.
And then
the orange-like sun
Will be
your captain’s
Cap, my
captain!
Ahoy, my
captain!
The sea’s not
fiction
And
happiness exists!
The sea
loves only those who live, and hurls
All who are
dead back to the shore.
One girl
there was, there was one girl
That came
back to the shore no more.
Her towel
was the one thing that was left
To float
around amid the waters brimming.
She loved a
sailor, this girl, and she was bereft,
Because the
sailor loved all pretty women.
Her towel
was the one thing that remained,
In red and
purple, on the shore above.
We cried,
embarrassed, noiseless, pained,
And then
into the cold depths dove.
We searched
the waters far and wide,
And dug the
sand with fingers blue with woe,
To find the
one girl, whom the tides
Returned
onto the shore no more.

Drowned
stars are floating in the swells.
Sea salt
has burned their youthful colour.
How
quietly, without farewell,
They lost
both light and valor.
But my
heart will be their tomb,
A pharaoh’s
pyramid for them,
And ripened
in its flesh as in a mussel’s womb,
They will
return, reborn, alive again.
The summer
stepped into the waters, bare,
Threw all
dead sea-weed out, and laid
Fresh sand
down on the bottom where
Mothers-of-pearls,
as children, played.
The
lighthouse stretched its manly shape up high,
A certain
kind of yearning burst
Inside its
brightness-laden eye….
….
I dive
towards the bottom with a sudden plunge.
My skillful
hands scoop water, and in tiny sips
I seem to
breathe in water with my lungs
Of an
amphibian, and with my dolpnin’s lips.
Green
circles faintly glint below,
My
heartbeat’s in a skyward rush.
Ports sound
a sombre siren’s call.
And from
their open veins out gush
Waste oil
and death, and fill the sea.
Cry, summer
– future orphaned child!
Come now,
you saviour poet, come to me,
Not with
your pen and paper, we won’t cry!
(To cry is
awful easy on the page!)
But hurry,
brother! Let us ban
The poison
and the vile rage
That’s
taken over man!...
(имаше коментар от една читателка – че винаги е смятала, че кърпата е по-скоро шал. и аз се двоумих, питах околните и накрая се спрях на плажна кърпа, но приемам забележката)
