since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

Tak jak pochutta - najpershe
shcho zvertaje uvahu
na syntaksys rechej
nikoly tak tebe ne pociluje
shchob povnistu buty boz’hevilnym
poky Vesna na sviti

Moja krov ce dovodyt
i cilunky - krashcha dola
niz’h mudrist
panno, prys’ahajus’ usima kvitamy. Ne plachte
- najlipshyj z’hest moho mozku je drib’jazkom
porivn’ano z purxann’am vashyx povik shcho kaz’he meni

My - odne dla odnoho: todi
smijs’a, spyrajuchys’ na mene
bo z’hytta - ce ne parahraf

A smert, ja vvaz’haju, zovsim ne duz’hky
