a. KOLA CROSS

Where the world is covered with the icy armour,
Where fade and dim all colours
The frame of meridians has sketched
The Polar Circle and all realm peaks. 

Here are severe life and customs,
Here they rely on their own powers
And give a merciless rebuff
To outlanders - alien strangers.

Where Night reigns in the sky,
Where the Kola Cross illumes the northern vaults
And circling glitters coldly,
The sign of nature  its the part of a silent act.

White dead silence and wilderness here,
Here vague mists spread ails,
Strike foes ruthlessly and sharp
With bony hands like crook.

Where millions of voiceless words
And milliards of elusive glances
Avidly hands grasp the gist
And send to the first and last trip.

Here on the roads unknown, 
In silver spangles of the night (in scattered silver of the night)
I have found wisdom, powers
The flow of thoughts and peace forever. 



b. RAVEN DARK

Wanderings and admiration of the natures beauties,
A hundred times, on the verge of collapse
The painful cup of bane
Was drained in the October still. 


As a golden-dirty rustle,
The stream of Raven dark has reached,
The stream of consciousness and perish
Crushing the exhausted stiff

On breaking the ties and dissolving,
Forever growing into soil,
The consciousness gets clouded and lost
As ever, pitch-black wings stay before my eyes

Washed by heavy raining,
Worn out by rough waters flow,
Scratches left by chants of wind.
The Raven dark carries into gulf.

Visions, visions, scenes
Through pitch-black wings
So distinctly and truly
As if I had gone mad.

And thoughts as razors
Are cutting me again
Ill come back to these veins,
Ill come back forever.



c. ICE FATHER

The Wheel of The Universe still spins
Dropping rust in the deep of the sea
Here only Ice Father is not asleep
With his abiding cares

He is the Old and the New
Slush in the month of May and mires
He is the grey-haired Ice Father
Warmth in a chilly slashing  Mor

In the rocky solid grindstones
He forges the character of iron
From the unknown rocks,
Gnarled firs and melted snows

The natures course is in his power
All birds and beasts obey his word
And human beings, reserved and cold
Reads between the lines of nature

He is the Jav and Nav
As the hoary world- a boulder
In the lifeless and disdainable world
He is the North  Ice Father



d. SUNLESS DAWN

The motionless crowns of trees
Unhurriedly soar in the air
The landscapes muffled in snows
Unhurriedly draw their daggers

Choke and slay
Foreordain the twilight of the Earth
Mutilate and torture
Vanity eradicate


You tried to run away
And fled, scarcely touching the ground
Some steps and you fell
Into the pale lethal sunless dawn

The branches lash your face
Making it flame and ears ring
The traps of stones under the snow
Break your legs


A flash-like run is finished
A dull ache blears your clear gaze
Erratic pulse
You catch again this eerie talk

Scraps of phrases
From depths of ages in the dark
About strangers and blood
The last breath
