Marina Tsvetaeva - My Shape is Very Simple

My shape is very simple,
My house is rather poor -
I’m an islander for ever,
From a very distant shore.

I live yet wait nobody,
You come – I welcome you!
To cook a supper for you -
I’d burn my household through.

You look – I’m nearly yours,
You mount – okay, come on !
Our laws are very simple:
Imprinted in the soul.

We’ll catch a Moon from Heaven,
And hold it -  in a palm -
If he will go -  forget him -
Forget I will - my own.

I fear my scar’s still burning
And won’t be timely closed - 
Until another stranger
Would want to quench his thirst.
