Vladimir Gertsik


A mug on the stick
Swirling under the water
The forest springs

Blackberries all around
The wind in the pine tops
Too lazy to bend down

Night windows
Glistering under the feet
The horseradish leaves

Spring. Slightly pissed
I watch the leaves coming
Out of the buds

Wooden fence
The silhouette of a black cat
In the fading sky

House dissolved
In the midst of the snowfall
A barking dog

How it sings
What a carefree name -
Peony
