The hand

1
The hand was
Moving through the dream,
And was seen in the air of hot springs-
Like in a choir of sisters-n-brothers.

From a father to a son,
From a son to a bird-
A quail, a turtledove, an owl and a starling,
Also to those without a nest or a name.

This soul-soothing, three-finger-pinch motion is
Sympathetic, para-beautiful,
Like the refined tribal tongue
Raised up towards our Lord, Christ,
 And it’s blessed – thrice.

2
Clouds’ burning illusion will pass away,
So will youth – virile and crazy,
So will manliness-like a sinking reign,
And so will the old age-a sparkle of stardust - splintered,

Even the compassionate heart,
The three-finger pinch will last,
And the migration,
That crossed the sky.


Translated Silva Hovakimyan

That crossed the sky"...

Сердце замирает-до чего красиво и истинно.
