Part I
Indian spring
March
A start of the beginning without an end
ОглавлениеIn a few days, we’ve been
all-round Bombay3 paying
no heed to anything anywhere.
An event of the universal scale
happened in our lives:
for my timid declaration of love
you agreed to be my bride.
How could we endure the enormous
joy raining down on us.
We, so fortunate, roam
the streets hugging one another
so that not to fall
under a heavy load to bear.
The city smiles in comprehension.
An engagement is without ceremonies,
without diamond rings:
wedding rings – right away.
We just dared and bought the rings.
We are to love.
A promise is a promise:
whether Indian heat or Russian
frost – we are together —
always, everywhere. After
visiting galleries and shows,
Mumbai seems to be
a long abstract painting
exclusive of a basic framework.
We go and go…
an end becomes a beginning…
we go and go…
