Chvylja
Language: Ukrainian (Українська)
Chvylja jde, val hude – bilyj, smilyj, sribnyj, dribnyj, napade na sucheje bahovynnja, na rozsypane kaminnja, bilym plomenem metnet'sja, strepenet'sja, skyne z sebe vse, ščo jasne, j hasne… Chvylja smutna, kalamutna, vže ne jasna, vže ne bila, vidplyvaje posumnila, mov do hrobu. Iz plačem do sebe horne bahovynnja t'mjane, čorne, mov žalobu. I zitchaje, i vtychaje, ryne v more velyčezne j čezne… Čy vona jde do dna? Može, bude tam pokirno, mov rabynja, tycho, virno, kolychat' mali moljusky, haptuvat' prozori lusky, na korali klasty karby, vartuvaty morju skarby, i sluhoju pid vahoju tam vona doviku stane j ne povstane? Čy polyne mežy sestry, mežy myli, vil'ni chvyli, roztečet'sja, rozplyvet'sja, znovu syly naberet'sja, potim zryne i hučna, i bučna, peremožno valom splesne i voskresne?
