Boris Pasternak - I hang limp on the Creator`s penBoris Pasternak - I hang limp on the Creator`s pen
Work rating: Low


I hang limp on the Creator`s pen Like a large drop of lilac gloss-paint. Underneath are dykes` secrets; the air From the railways is sodden and sticky, Of the fumes of coal and night fires reeking. But the moment night kills sunset`s glare, It turns pink itself, tinged with far flares, And the fence stands stiff, paradox-stricken. It keeps muttering: stop it till dawn. Let the dry whiting finally settle. Hard as nails is the worm-eaten ground, And the echo`s as keen as a skittle. Warm spring wind, spots of cheviot and mud, Early naileries` hoots faraway, On the grater of cobble-stones road, As on radishes lavishly sprayed, Tears stand out clearly at break of day. Like an acrid drop of thick lead paint, I hang on to the Creator`s pen.
