ON PARTING

ON PARTING
Ksenia Kisselincheva


I close the door behind you
And my soul closes too.
Like petals of a water lily
Close  sadly
While the sun vanishes,
A ball of fire
In the coolness of the pond.

The petals of my soul shiver
With the lingering nostalgia
Of every instant shared with you.
I gently squeeze the sap of each sensation 
Like the sap of a birch.
Feelings come and go between the two of us
- sea waves breaking on the shore.

I long to bring you back,
- I scoop my fingers in a hollow,
As if I rescue a birdie, fallen from the tree.
Hellas, the touch of tenderness vanishes.
So, I rush out to my leafy hut,
To get the fire burning,
Roasting on the shreds of my loneliness.
