ПРОСТО

 

 

                                                       А веришь?..

 

                                                       Я будто стала

                                                       выше

                                                       без пьедестала.

 

                                                       Скользкого,

                                                       как маргарин...

 

                                                       Ведь, 

                                                       что ни сотвори -

 

                                                       того добра отпечаток

 

                                                       (что без боксерских перчаток

                                                       с улыбкой выходит на ринг

                                                       и "глюпости"

                                                       говорит) --

 

                                                       из-под любого слоя

                                                       золота наносного

                                                       светится

                                                       инородно,

                                                       юродиво

                                                       и не модно...

 

                                                       А мне -

                                                       просто легче стало

                                                       без когтей горностая,

                                                       что с чужого плеча

                                                       душу давил,

                                                       урча...

 

                                                       Да не о том все речь.

 

                                                       Мне повезло сберечь...

 

                                                       Я о любви:

                                                       лови! --

 

                                                       простенький

                                                       мой

                                                       наив.
