Under caresses of an ivy
Plaid I recalled yesterday's dream.
Whose victory? Who's been defeated?
What has it been?

Rethinking everything once more,
Torturing myself once again.
In this, for which no word I know,
Love it has been, love it has been.

Who was the hunter? Who - the hunted?
All is reversed as if by Satan!
What did the loudly purring
Siberian Cat, understand?

In this self-willing one another
Who in whose hand was but a ball?
Whose heart flew - yours or mine,
Do you recall?

And still again - what has it been too?
What do I want, what do I pity?
And I don't know: Did I win?
Or did you Conquer me?

By Marina Tsvetayeva
Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat

Well, the handwriting is on the floor. -- Joe E. Lewis
