На заклание жертвенных животных
Их убивают в тысячном числе,Взрощённых для любви потомств,Тех, коим названными быть в благих,Кого равняют с жизнью сродств; не в зле,В рёв, убивают сих во грусть-очахИ в девственных их силах средь живых;В речах священных, к радостям семьи,Их убивают, чад волшебных; дниБегут вперёд в страх ног покорных их,Они не прекословны, не молебны;Они идут податливо, чистыИх кудри, взгляды преисполненыВолнительной души, – другая ль есть? —И не явленны оним Царств миры,В плач солнца, проча лесть по все пиры,Возносят нож над ними, в божью честь.
(Нач. в 1й день Курбан Байран – 04.10.2015; дача)Нечто в тонах Ходасевича
Одиноко бродит котофей,И впадаю, глядя на него, Я в сказки;В этой межсезонной вертопляске,Растерял Я, кажется, друзей.
Обречённо скромен павший лист;Всё же хорошо, что нет Иуды;В этой жизни, где одни паскуды,Ты любви сердечной берегись.
Так, пойду тропой своих аллей;Как шуршит! в эскизах – странны рожи,До чего ж они на всех… всех тех похожи;День – что белка в сумраке елей.

Откуда ж жизни быть в жаровне [1], бес?Иль кораблю [2], когда, вдруг кануть в твердь?А дым [3] ли – зеркало есть? – чтобы глядетьВ него, как во чужую будто б смерть,Но видеть лишь свою печаль и боль…Да ты поэт, бес! – Ему ж возможно весть,Оттоль, весь мир к Трагедии чудес,Так, будь он Доктор Фауст-Брюс52: изволь: —Сидеть чтоб у камина, как в тюрьме [4],В свидетелях коварств и странствий всех,Опасный пользуя эксперимент,Как в страх скиталец, брошенный на брегСлепой волною, зрить там пред собоюВсё то, что в судьбах пало под запрет…Свет скрасит ли его удел? ЧредоюТёмных [5] чувств, слова прихлынут в мозг,Как острова [6] в мерцаньи среди звёзд [7],Туман где пел над гладью тёмных вод; —О, дальний образ. Вот! Уже летят:Видения – в ту бездну бытия,Где Бес и Муза [8] свой справляют бал;Вздымается в высь Белая Гора [9],И ведьмин [10] рой, кой Байрон53 не вспевал,Игрой заходится; и фабулаГде, во признаньях и грехах, как вор,Как тот вампир, по ступеням [11] до златКто в ночь крадётся, путь забыв обрат,Взойдя, в обличьи ж новом узнаётся,Навеки утеряв себя; – и взгляд,Один лишь только взгляд в пространство,Оставленное за завесой зла. —Сгорает красная зола; до днаИспит в бутыли [12] горький эликсир,Да не Всесильным был он, – плут-визирьИз Ада лгал вам54; – вина лишь каплиЛились по губам, не знавшим РаяОбладанья поднебесным Счастьем.Она! [13] … Ах! Ты же – не учёный, бес, —Тень окаянных грёз; в тщете сих слёз,Аль сплавишь шпоры [14] в вечности огняПытанных душ?… В Аду, неужто утро?…

Child of Human Ages
/To my dear son Daniel Wolanski/
Why ’tis so, that the child loves to hear the singings, Child in the age of one-day?Why ’tis so, this animal likes to listen the stories, Yet never stepped in the age of the Brain?Not in the age of the Theatre, he makes all grimases, Never learnt there laughter or fright;He plays eyes, such, as if he’s in the age of Truth even; And, far from the age of the Judge, he cries.
Never felt yet in the age of the Doubt there,He gives himself to the looks of all-leaned heads;Why ’tis so? – Not in the age of Revenge yet,This babe waves against the lie of false breaths.
Look, not in the age of all-tormented Passion,He pulls his arms into invisible Far Space;And, yet ne’er reached the age of Wisdom or Fashion,This being wins upon Sadness with one even gaze.
He heeds to… As if in the age of New Legend…Dear friend, don’t you know, where this nostalgie from?An infant can’t see, but awakes to new sights and the senses,So irrevitably lives in us, through each age, in each form…

Truth: is that in the sudden thought,That life goes earthly by?I rather dream that poesyIs magnetism attracts tomorrow’s light.
(06.08.2013 – dacha)On the theme philosophical, me-called the Funeral of War57
Socratic poem
1.A strangest ghost a witness of the me, —Prophetic, – from the spheres of deadly peaceArose right front of my spontaneous gaze; —The things 'bout passed war were in his words;«How shall we bury it?» – he’ve asked, and IFelt in the certain pause, and I sawThe vision of unquiet macrocosm.
«How shall we bury it? Should be there tomb?Should be that sad? – I read your thinker mood; —Cause it is, firstly, sad to realizeWhat sort of groan it brings to resoluteIts memory to-come.» – «Thought to foregone.» —«That’s it: we’ve got to bury it. Although,The joy of making it, deliberate joy,Like common ease, could morally confuseThat half of world of citizens, whose prideRelates to all the dear facts of noble loss; —Th’unsatisfied dramaticism opposeTo the unseriousity frivolous,And that’s… to-war?“ – „Suppose, to count on bothEffects will do the whole of worldly truth…» —«Like in the time of gladiators’ youth?» —«Oh, no!» – «Although ’twas the performanceOf the pra-ethos of no-foe. Their battles,Staged, were to express quite certain morals:Rome used to give to History a chanceTo rehabilitate in looser a victor.» —«But that is rather to celebrity —Not to the all-repose – of War!» – «Time’s gone?» —«Ukrain you’ve mentioned, the modernityOf «public claw» by that?» – «What we don’t want.» —And, as I stayed quite dumb; – he: – «Not we wantTo think the War; we bury it. Our warIs over, there’s no other war.» – «At all?» —«For you to get: the War is not discrete; —Its being is of the matters different?Me-think, its constitution is permanent.And what we bury here had its proud end.» —Well, «Yes» I said. – «So, what we’ve meant,That must be like, what foe thinks as friend,Cause, not a foe any more, refusedHe’ve been to bear the woe.» – «And what is it?» —«Compare to th’ ended, «twill have no end.» – «Weird…» —«Yes, «tmust be like what… CAn be repeated,Each time with freer memory replayed.» —«GOOD memory?…» – «Thought smiles, well-comprehend!New memory of The War-Burial event.» —«If that… mysterious festivityLike Carny greatly-mad supposed to be,Then only thought «bout it is of the…Mystery,…the secret there,…very thingWithin the Theme, – you understand?“ – „IndeedThat must inherit the CompetityAs part of freeing Act, and all the Art,All sort of, suiting to fair Ritual…» —«Undoubtedly. And, so, the question still:What is that main… intrigue, the Carny’s riddle,Point of the Mystery? As you can see,Just «on the usual wing», like that in Spain58,With’t secret motive, it will be quite vain, —I mean, vain for the Whole-War’s burial theme.» —«If you can tell me just one thing», – he said, —Though it was shining our words between:Please, can we ever tell, on thousand percent,On newer way of thought, who is «the friend»And who’s foe-nO-more… of the End», you know?» —«No. We can’t tell this… from the start, at least.» —«Oh, thinker’s bliss! The question th’answer is.That’s first of secrets – who for whom there is.» —His face expressed quite a unique grimace.And like that would‘ve been the Light bless usTo play a conversation more like fun,The irony in words has come, and things.«Your Fonomore!» – I laughed, – child of the dreams,Exclusively created son by clever wordOf lingua-hooligan, done just like this!Out of your ghostly head!“ – „Feast jealous?Zealous dead?“ – „Fantastic personage’s that!To imagine, he’s out of the dark;Miraculous cloak all covers him; —Surrounded by others, harlequinsAnd fools, and many a beings unseen,He moves like psychedelic king, and hymns…» —«The harmless See of Sin… But listen; see…» —Ghost looked at me, – «those funny fools you mean; —What are «the fools»? Are they as same, as him?Or they appeared all from gnostic wombOf the Unfathomable Lot’s magazine,With very news of that the War we thinkExisted on this Earth yet have ne’er been?What a Jew Shestov59 could «ve dream’ngly seen,Or like that Mister Happy History —«No-Holocaust-no-Auschwitz» Doc60 – bringsLoud as the facts against the hissed storyOf the «gas times» limitlessly horrid,As if true Nazis’ records was a joke:No hair, no bones no kameras, no films;There was no Human shock, but just a dream!That schism changed Peace of Clock – a childish dream,No more than just a little spoilt seemed…“ – „The flockOf thoughts….“ – I’ve took a lead, – „No, we can’t doSo that the things, we look at, will be like…Oh, no. We do we bury th’ended War;If that’s a pseudo type, the End we’ve thoughtShould be… alas!…’twill be like… the War start!The fools are.., though But-the-But gigged their times…» —…«Just look: to be «no more the foes», – ghost smiled; —«They’re not „the friends“ yet, is’t all right? And so…» —«The some could really be the „Endsome foe“.» —«Or called as «th’endful» as one full of End;The End-fool foe – great! a name suites one at all!» —«What if that’s Mr War Crime out of manhole?» —I felt, I can’t provoke not. – «Kindly joke.» —He answered. – «Well, it can be so; fear’s choked.Let him be dressed all, let him swing and walk,And let the mystery works: – where’s his friend?Has he a friend? Though, there must be «the friends»,But does he know them? Or do they know him?In fact, that’s, mostly, up to role of foolsTo be a sort of messengers withinThe Project. And, even though I would seeIn light of my own logic that exampleOf the last be better idol not alive,But anyway, in general, fool’s task, —To that we find them being of foe type, —To act that way «the friends» could be found right.Dilemma is: who’s first to witness thereFor the other’s side?“ – he wisely sighed. – „WildIs the sight in games of doubling mind; – dimIs the truth of darker dream for unforeseen…What have you done to my thought blind? Me-seem,It’s getting to absorb…» – «The vanity?» —Good joke! «twas a ghost’s singing. (Clarity,Oh, clarity! Fool is your reality!)…«Exotic dispute we are bringing thus; —Yes, «tmakes me wonder – clever words of yours: —To do that th’ «Carny’s eidos»61 will be just,(What should be the War’s Funeral, repose,)To do so we should humanize the prideIn fool, the foe’s pride, but in the name of…» —«All the good, you’re right. Is there any doubt?» —He asked critically. – «A doubt… Is anyThere as such, socratically, the thing «bout,Like that thought, like that of… Mister Hitler,Gorgeously who could be seen a figureOf World Pacifism, main antifascist,Consciously who bury all-war passions,Full of anti-dominativism, love?» —…«In Haides we, the ghosts, heard from aboveOnce there came to us titanic melosAnd voice of hippyistic hooliganSang: – «Twenty first century schitzoid man.»62I felt he’s rather teasing me. – «No, please,Tell seriously. I know, it’s a funFor you to make the earthly jokes on meFull of the crying logic for so done,But…“ – „What higher-strophically been mentioned,All should be. No aught of different wePointed here than that… he’s «a fool», agree?» —«A fool a being free… Mad thought’s dimension…Lucky we, that whole our Great CarnyNot by the only fools there filled will be!» —«Exactly! How wise to see: more foe’s heLike – more fool he’s carnyshly.“ – „Already,What the images here comes to me! To beFor not to be – strange there Lenin, Stalin,Utopically all-surprising… The key,However… Key! to notions were rising —What’s that meaning? Such the «humanizing»,We’ve discussed, what really do in practice?» —Him I asked. – «The grave.» – He shortly answered.(Oh, Man’s thought – Th’Imaginary’s dancer!)«No need of the reasking glance. You’ve got:The Carny’s purport is to bury «known-what»;That’s how «the grave». Do you remember notWhat was the dispute start?”… And then I’ve heardAgain that «of the tomb» inside my mind,(«Should be there tomb?»63…) and once again of thatWhat «sad way off» could be the joyous laugh.«However, I find now it’s enoughOf talking for tonight; we’ll do next time.» —«Where’re you going?» – Me-seen, he moved back.«Wine ist too earthly luck. Before the dark,I’m going to have cicuta64 now —The drink all-philosophiest! Your wow!» —No! He lifted up his nowhere-from cup,And, smiling sage, he «hadlle»65 in one gulp,And, like that in the strange cartoon, turned green,Turned blue then, and so soon all-disappeared.
All, so spontaneously!… No, I wasn’t fearedNeither I was satisfied; timelessly,Seem, a last question of the Theme we’ve tried,Was keeping alchemize my loaded mind,And the effect was felt like limbo thoughtGrotesquely-dissolved in mount of sightsOf all subsequently awaken fancies.It was all coming up from stranger wordsMade wilder dancing of the scene-to-world.The Provocation how fast was risingFrom the back-imagined talk. …That “’bout tomb»,That “’bout dead», that “’bout doom and light»; —As if these Two, sane-eyed, sat there, side to side,At their philosophic table of the Time,Whilst all around, full of common criesFrom yet tonight, the witnesses of our insight,Beings too-voluntarous, rose to uniteAnd all got closer, and acted there blind,And some were just to fight then. All images,All characters to find… Dude Fonomore,With others, fans of End, Satirehood, and…Madder-looking creature broke the hand, then,Of the Dead Wall’s Clock, and picture changed all.And all, so suddenly, went to behold:Oh, that was news unique! that opened wide,That newly-viewed field there was; – that hugely…Laid all o’er there… corpse. Bigger than house.Much bigger than the airplane or gardensSome, – the Corpse of War, dread on the sun.And ’twas all full of moving…! life, not life, —What could I call it like? The crawls, all sounds,Those all expressions, parasitic mess,All from inside came out; – ants not ants,Not so the worms, but looked like flags and guns,In tones and tints, materialized moodsOf things in shape, in shade, dead sentiments.
…The threats of vision stopped, view lost its endsDissolved in shouts for the needed GraveThat time, when my stressed psyche invoked againBack to my consciousness, that for me thenTo be a here-man. And here I am. – Think,Else, what I can say is that, when my old mind,Impressed a lot, went wondering aloneOf that if ever could be right to growOur seductive «Carny’s theme» at all, —If e’er we’d find a way to bury doubts(Oh, what a wisest thought!) «bout Death of War,So it can’t rise again, per rotten chance; —To this, I felt, however, but a nerveOf Human inspiration, – dreaming thenOf sage and dispute to be back again.
