Anatoly Kudryavitsky
Tibet
The distance that wants to drink
your want;
droplets of birds' blood...
In a few tomorrows' time
we'll add them to the roster.
Smaller than five-terraced mountains
but larger than perennial darkness;
red as Uzbekistan.
Why, what and how?
Phantom is a phantom is a cold kiss.
Tomorrow is a dead man's word.
Half-night, half-resurrection.
And the valleys
digging indigo.
