Run away with you? Gladly!
By Lyrikline Collaboration Poets
By Vera Pavlova
Translated by Jena Woodhouse
Run away with you? Gladly!
Share your shelter and journey?
Simpler to straighten a rainbow,
bend the Milky Way into a bow
give children songs to eat,
win the war in the Caucasus…
Stop loving you? If only!
Simpler to build
a house on the waves.
