Mezh podvodnykh steblej
Language: Russian (Русский)
Khorosho mezh podvodnykh steblej. Blednyj svet. Tishina. Glubina. My zametim lish' ten' korablej, I do nas ne dokhodit volna. Nepodvizhnye stebli gljadjat, Nepodvizhnye stebli rastut. Kak spokojen zelenyj ikh vzgljad, Kak oni bestrevozhno cvetut. Bezglagol'no glubokoje dno, Bez shurshan'ja morskaja trava. My ljubili, kogda-to, davno, My zabyli zemnye slova. Samocvetnye kamni. Pesok. Molchalivye prizraki ryb. Mir strastej i stradanij dalek, Khorosho, chto ja v mire pogib.
