           THE EVENING  SEA
(Free translation  from Russian by the author  Yosef Latman)

The dark splashes of the evening sea!
Red  having flashed, they have  sadness  sparkled .-
The sun behind  curtains  bashfully   bathed...
And leaving day changes color at  night's plea.

Or... it is a reflection of sunset past,
Or frozen suddenly  reflection of stars, ,
Or the shatters  mirror's of  now ancient sea God,
 Who opened  circles life's  with his Trident  as sea lord.

Will whether  tell me about it  sea
( Shall beg whether I or loudly scream...),
Somewhere   far ... shimmering  with a ghostly  light,
Or , as a cat, somesing having purring,  at feet  in night?

The spray, flashing like shadows, disappeared...
The sea merged with night - his not be seeing..
And waves - as in childhood at home my swing...
They can drag me into  abyss, as a stormwind.
