Boris Pasternak - My desk is not so wide that I might leanBoris Pasternak - My desk is not so wide that I might lean
Work rating: Low


My desk is not so wide that I might lean Against the edge and reach out past the shell Of board and glass, beyond the isthmus in The endless miles of my scraped out farewell. (It`s night there now.) Beyond your sultry neck. (They went to bed.) Behind your shoulders` realm. (Switched off the light.) At dawn, I`d give them back. The porch would touch them with a sleepy stem. No, not with snowflakes! With your arms! Reach far! Oh you, ten fingers of my pain, the light Of crystal winter stars-and every star A sign of northbound snowbound trains being late.
