  Dark " *
  Meadow.
  
  White
  Spots
  Of pebbles
  Of stars
  Of chamomiles
  Behind
  On
  Flanks
  Of
  Deers.
  
  A delicate
  Chime "
  And clatter
  Of horns.
  
  I recall
  How the poet " "
  Dmitry Chernyshev
  Snapped his fingers.
  
  I remember
  The professor
  Asking me a question
  About clapping
  With one palm,
  And"
  I don"t know
  What to answer.

  Сlang,
  Сlick,
  Tapping.

  Drop
  Of note
  Hangs
  On a percussion stave.
  
  The (side-)tone

  Beauty.

  The heron
  Emerges from the coastal sedge.
  It comes out silently, admiring herself.
  Who else should it admire?
  It is the only heron in this autumn moment.
  And the only one who can glide with its wings on the water and carefully look under the bridge.

  A notice with a photo.
  Someone
  Has found a cat
  And gave it to a shelter.
  Hope
  Everyone
  Is doing well.
  
  A notice with a photo.
  They ask
  Who stole the bike
  Or just
  Took it for a ride
  While drunk.
  
  I hope
  Everyone
  Has found
  Everything.
  
  A notice with a photo.
  Children"s toy watch
  In the form
  Of a teddy dog
  Was lost.
  
  I hope
  "
  That someone hears
  Their favorite tune again.
  
  (This is where I remember my cheap dog-like alarm clock with a dial built into the side, standing on its own shelf on the veranda, ticking in the darkness of the autumn night.

  The fountain
  Is playing
  In the middle of the pond.
  And the trees
  Are standing around.
  What else
  Can I say?
  
  What if I just "
  List what I saw?
  
  Just listing.
  It"s a good literary technique.
  No one
  Will guess anything.
  
  - Clouds (well, everyone has seen that, It"s nothing)
  - There are birch seeds in my empty room.
  - The window is open.
  - It"s not new, either.
  - This list includes
  
  Au | tumn | air
  "
  As such.
  
  - Red leaves in grass.
  - A round chestnut on a wet sidewalk.
  - In shallow water two seagulls stand swearing to each other.
  - A concrete path leads to the beach. And a trampled path leads to the beach.
  
  - Con | tem | pla | tion.
  "
   As such, it"s important, isn"t it?
  - ...Isn"t it?
  
  - Across the street.
   Someone said something
   To someone
   I couldn"t hear
   What exactly.
  - There"s one more thing I"d include in this list:
  
   Un | der | stand | ing
   "
   Exactly as a process.
   But
   I don"t know what it is.
  - I slipped on a fallen apple.
  - A slug crawled out onto the path to get warm.
  - A long bus rumbles behind the window.
  - I know the sound when it comes
  - And when it goes.
  - This is interesting.
  - A black dog is tied up at the lighted store entrance.
  - White flowers in the twilight.
  - It"s still warm.
  - It seems.
   That
   Autumn is still
   On the way.
