Do Not Touch Me Yet


By Pavel Chichikov

The crocus seemed to be a flower

Yet like a violet sun exploded

Hot to touch and loaded

With violent atomic rays

The jonquils reared and spoke –

We have more life than you

As we absorb the color blue

Which every sky reflects when clear and dry

Everything which has foretold the truth

Is here before your eyes

Exploding in a gust of spirit shrapnel every lie –

Then listen to the detonation

See at first but careful, do not touch

Behold true life, but do not clutch
