От службы по наитию в сон поднебесный, в траву безголосую,

читающую молитву вслух. Боковым зрением памяти озираюсь по

сторонам. Если со мною что и произойдет, то все это будет неправдой.
Чёрный смех с порога моего рождения дышит мне в затылок.
Заходи. Я давно тебя ждал. Ты от всего человечества, а я от нас всех
принимаю поздравления за Бабий Яр, гетто, за всё, что с нами было.



* * *

В твоих глазах, обугленных от слез,
звучала поминальная молитва.

И, когда слово прикоснулось
к своей сути и зазвонил колокол,
совершенно опустошенное время
вернулось из будущего и поселилось
на окраине памяти.
