Is blind and sinister. Its craving is set
Today on the flesh of a hare: tomorrow it can
Howl the same way for the flesh of a man.

shameful to name it and then to shut your eyes,
shameful to call a funeral a wedding
and play the fool at funerals besides.

and hammered stars into the unforgetting sky – like nails
I am Goya.

I am Goya
of the bare field, by the enemy's beak gouged
till the craters of my eyes gape

on the snows of the year 1941
I am hunger.

They carried him not to bury him:
They carried him down to crown him....
The poet flourished here, disheveled,
Who would not bow before votive lamps But to the common spade.


Andrei Voznesensky
