“Truth” by Marina Tsvetaeva 🇷🇺 (8 Oct 1892 – 31 Aug 1941)
Translated from the Russian by Ilya Shambat
The exhausted world sighs of confusion,
The pink even streams oblivion …
We were parted by shadows, not people,
Oh my dearest boy, heart of mine!
​
Walls are towering, in a fog dressing,
Spear was dropped without strength by the sun …
In the evening world I’m cold. Where are you,
Oh my dearest boy, heart of mine?
​
You will not hear. The walls are encroaching,
All things blend into one, all dies down …
Nothing did, does, will substitute for you,
Oh my dearest boy, heart of mine!
