Treat
I was, like everyone else, hungry
I was waiting, like everyone else, for my father.
The chairman gave us
A handful of oats.
From untouchable
Kolkhoz pantry
He spent pre-war
Some kind of reserve.
Not at home, in front of a torch,
And right there, at the porch,
Like seeds, shelled
We are grains of oats.
And, slowly, like guests,
They kept it in their mouth to their heart's content.
And the golden awns
They burned in the wind.
An involuntary sympathizer
Always hungry myself
The chairman stroked us
For coarse hair.
...Now sleepless night
I look at the scattering of stars
And I see again with my own eyes
Flowing oats.
He is in this universe
Star-high
Like a word of compassion
What a lesson in kindness.
Andrey Rumyantsev
