Fairy Birds Poem by viacheslav kupriyanov

Fairy Birds

Fairy birds
play with rain

they are like princesses on a pea
spinning on the flying drops

others as if on wire
try to sit
on the slant line of rain

there are some
which at breakneck speed
leap into the apertures of lightening
and appear
beyond the heaven

these are the most educated
the rain reminds them
of a cage

Translated from Russian by Dasha Nisula
