The Silent Woman


by Pavel Chichikov

Not a dream, you move through one,

Lady of the silent face,

Never troubled yet when beckoned

Swift in mercy, Queen of Grace

Yet the other night you led me,

Guide without an utterance,

Toward duration’s boundary,

Lady of a troubled silence

Foster mother! baffled, lost,

Wandering through time I go;

Now I blunder through the past –

Let me not be foolish so
