***
I want to you as I wanted the sea,
As I wanted the beauty of Saint Petersburg,
As I wanted thoughtlessly
At least one rose petal
In my hand,
As I wanted wandering blind
On a Southern ocean,
As I wanted the voice
In the strong acoustic context,
As I wanted a page filled with letters,
As I wanted to hide in a magical palace
Cut off from all the ties with humanity,
Serenaded by symphonies played
On transparent instruments –
The waves of one morning
at the North Sea.
