Analysis of The stellar wind
The stellar wind in vacant sails,
Ripping through skin and meat,
And grinding bones to dust entails
For sake of new world kneading.
It`s tasteless and its colors range,
Beyond the grasp of feeble sight,
It`s unbiased and without grade,
There is no directing of flight.
And it`s the wind are only in a words,
In fact, it`s more a flow.
So floundering amidst these waves,
You find a seed of glow,
From shot right through - sobbing -
Of chaotic stream corpuscles,
And the pupil is dappled, pitted,
And vibrate even every muscles.

About this poem
This poem is a translation I made of my Russian original. Звёздный ветер в ничьих парусах, Раздирающий ко� у и мясо И стирающий кости во прах Ради нового мира замеса, Он безвкусен и спектр цветовой Неподвластен убогому зренью, И бесстрастен, не добрый - не злой И отсутствует суть направленья. Да и ветер-то лишь на словах, А на деле - скорее теченье. И барахтаясь в этих волнах, Обретаешь крупицу свеченья От прострела навылет - навзрыд - Хаотичным потоком корпускул, И зрачок испещрён, изрыт, И вибрирует ка� дый мускул. more »
