Like according to some schedule month march.
As if to nowhere February follows March.
In February buds will open,
And in March it is snowing still,
A friend of mine told me,
That the nature fell ill.
Don’t spend your nerves in vain,
Do not touch sedating medicine.
Spring will come
When it wants to come
By opening its veins.
It may come in July or June,
Melting azure in the blue,
And may people and birds cry
And astronauts, too
And drown in the Neva
Will not think it is not true.
These things are trivia,
Of course,
But nevertheless spring will come
Maybe to end someone’s song,
What if it does not come
For so long.
Then they will all run
Birds and people
Drowned and gone.
And Mishka, my lying neighbor near.
Only a poet will write,
Give him some paper and ink,
He will write about February!
