Summer
in the tundra
Лето в тундре |
summer
midnight –
polar sun clings
to the pine tips |
летняя полночь –
полярное солнце цепляет
верхушки сосен |
Salehard* summer –
opaque-white night drips
with mosquitoes |
Салехардское лето –
пропитана мошкарой
белая ночь |
polar summer night –
gleam of salmonberry
on the swamp hillock |
летняя ночь в тундре –
на болотной кочке
мерцает морошка |
reindeer horns
scratch the milky night –
summer in the tundra
|
рога оленя
скребут молочную ночь –
лето в тундре |
