Blue Snake. From Balmont Poem by Liza Sud

Blue snake with golden scales,
Why are you exciting me?
Why are you possessing the earth like the Sea,
And all around the world you're as ether,
With the endless play of the Fire?


Why and what for are you burning, blue snake,
with many millions of eyes?
Why is so endless your fairy-tale
And these links burn as a Genesis haze
strangling the thirsty of us?


And as soon as we got a desire, Blue Snake,
To desire you're puting a bound.
And your scale will start rusiling, your scale will inflame
And it's finished already - We, and He, or I,
And you light a bonfire of bodies.

A blue snake with gold scales,
I have not yet forgotten the Babylon,
not forgetten the pyramids with bloody haze
above the earth of May, Over my darling land,
Where was the heart of dragon I loved.

I my own native Egypt I cannot forget,
Neither China - eternal sunflower,
Neither when I in India, crushed by the fate,
Buddha's Lotus I nurtured - my blossoming blue,
to ascend to untouched Paradise.

Blue snake with golden scales,
I will always be anxious about it.
But what for do you need me, the Dragon of world?
Or it's only through me that you come to the life,
When Trouble - is like ocean in me? .........
