New century

A previous issue of the magazine published works that presented Alexander Korotko’s poetry to the Israeli public – a biographical essay and a review of his artwork. This issue contains a large selection of poetry: sections of the poem “Towards the Dawn” and selected verses from the book “Moon Boy”.

 

НАСЛЕДНИКИ

Изобилие падших времен. День-кузнечик весну сторожит.
Дождь-паломник в разлуку влюблен, как осиновый лист
на ветру он дрожит. Вертикальное счастье по струнам небесным
на землю бежит, словно полчища гуннов. Так рождаются
в мире подлунном на закате истории славных знамен витражи.

 

(from book “Towards the Dawn”)

 

* * *

 

Горькими губами, горем гневным говорить глаголы гибнущих

миров, голым словом уходить из школы собственной надежды,

плыть под парусами бешеных ветров. Только лишь гонимые

обретают силу. возвращают сердцу падшие долги, и бредут по

свету нищих судеб тени – наши конвоиры и ночей бездомных

вечные враги.

 

(from the book “Moon Boy”)
