Roman Tunkel Poet Classicism

I'Ll Agree To Be Anything

I’ll agree to be anything,
If you only remain around,
Even just as a dewy string, 
Underneath your feet on the ground…

I’ll be your ever pumping heartbeat,
Your invisible shadow unknown,
Or a weightless feathery wheat,
On the palm of your hand, forlorn…

I will serve as your whole universe,
If you burst as a star in it,
Or the downpouring rain they curse,
If you cast as a storm for a minute…

I’ll turn into whirling wind,
Just to carry your name around,
If you only have asked for it –
But you don’t, not a touch, not a sound…

Written by Roman Tunkel (rus), 1979
Translated by Yelena Tunkel, 2002
