Introduction and translation from the Russian by Andrew Glikin-Gusinsky. А в доме, где жила я много лет,. Откуда я ушла зимой блокадной,. По вечерам опять в окошках свет. Он розоватый, праздничный, нарядный. Взглянув на бывших три моих окна,. Я вспоминаю: здесь была война. О, как мы затемнялись! И все темнело, все темнело в мире. Потом хозяин в дверь не постучал,. Как будто путь забыл к своей квартире. Где до сих пор беспамятствует он,. Какой последней кровлей осенен? Нет, я не знаю, кто живет теперь.
