Mezh podvodny'x steblej
Language: Russian (Русский)
Xorosho mezh podvodny'x steblej. Bledny'j svet. Tishina. Glubina. My' zametim lish` ten` korablej, I do nas ne doxodit volna. Nepodvizhny'e stebli glyadyat, Nepodvizhny'e stebli rastut. Kak spokoen zeleny'j ix vzglyad, Kak oni bestrevozhno czvetut. Bezglagol`no glubokoe dno, Bez shurshan`ya morskaya trava. My' lyubili, kogda-to, davno, My' zaby'li zemny'e slova. Samoczvetny'e kamni. Pesok. Molchalivy'e prizraki ry'b. Mir strastej i stradanij dalek, Xorosho, chto ya v mire pogib.
