Trafika Europe 13 - Russian Ballet

Mikhail Eremin

Mountain-slope deep-blue pine grove and crosses beside Ascetic caves, irrepressed, by either the image of manmade Things or by budding glimpses of skillful tree crowns, Unobscured by sturdy trunks and gnarled stumps, And one’s acre of wasteland and castle-keep – To live life out in the landscape and not the fatherland, Which is none other than one’s fate, And not a debt to reliquaries and ashes.
