Забытый сон. A forgotten dream

The Portal of mirrors
   has yet no bounds.
Let’s drift into dreams,
   just ignoring the clock.
We’ll pass through the mist.
   Who does care about
the damned ones, both left
   by the Devil and God?

September has shuffled
   the cards of the maple.
The shelter’s abandoned,
   we’ll fly in like leaves.
The books are asleep
   as the chimney, the candles,
And only the winds
   are still singing the hymns.

Don’t let me wake up, ghost!
   What’s really more precious
among spectral gifts
   to the poor dead souls
than comrade the Portal
   and, trembly delicious,
the bridges towards mists
   of the ruined past worlds?
