Silky icon-lamps. Memory shards

It's hot. And one more day is fading in red rays.
An old small boat has lost among pink lotuses.
It's sliding on the edges of the opaque sharp waves,
cutting a rug of the green leaves, to opuses*.

The waves are hissing, gently touching the boat's sides.
The hiss submerges the world into deep mesmerism.
The rays are lighting up frail petals from inside.
Gods gave to earth a piece of the far paradise.

A lot of magic shining silky icon-lamps
are swinging up and down below and overhead:
the evening makes small copies on the airy veil,
but they can't clone the sight of the frail lotuses.
