НОЯБРЬ

 

 

 

                                                              Неброски

                                                              крымские березки:

                                                              скалечены,

                                                              простоволосы -

                                                              огарки тающего воска,

                                                              потусторонние,

                                                              стоят...

 

                                                              Сухой начес чертополоший

                                                              не обуздать и не стреножить:

                                                              в штыки -

                                                              костлявые колосья;

                                                              да исподлобия,

                                                              у пят -

 

                                                              зеленоуса и ершиста

                                                              трава,

                                                              редеющая мшисто;

                                                              чабрец,

                                                              нетоптанный туристом -

                                                              как староверы,

                                                              у двора...

 

                                                              Пустырь,

                                                              лягушками отпетый;

                                                              да динозавровы скелеты

                                                              ребристых балок,

                                                              вопли ветра...

                                                              (На "шпильках" -

                                                              грязи с пол-ведра...)

 

                                                              И эта десятиэтажка -

                                                              бельмом в глазу!..

 

                                                              Изжелта-грязные,

                                                              дубки

                                                              напыжились

                                                              ромашково;

                                                              распущенные

                                                              донельзя

 

                                                              вуалехвостою гуашью, -

                              

                                                              как-будто кто-то

                                                              кистью влажной

                                                              темнит о чем-то

                                                              самом важном,

                                                              все по поверхности

                                                              скользя...
