The day he died

Вячеслав Свечков
With all his last strength,
he gathered at the point of death.
All the fiery consciousness by sleep
accumulated on the line
beyond which is light,
and inside there is only an attentive eye,
white and sharp.

The fuel burned out,
although he was not old,
neighbors whisper, "he died."

Polite orderlies,
the boundary of worlds.

A plastic bag,
with stretcher stains against the wall.

A hot day and the sweet scent
of jasmine passes by.
Summer flows in it,
a white paper boat
disappears into the vortex
of the whirlpool.

It flickered between the waves
and disappeared.
