This is a translation of a russian poem by Andrei Voznesensky. Hope you like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m Goya!
On the barren ground,
a raven gobbled down my eyeballs gorily.

I’m worry.

I’m the voice of
The war; the debris of cities
destroyed in the snows of the early forties.

I’m drought.

I’m the throat
Of the woman hanged, whose barren body
continued to beat like a church-bell, gnawing.

I’m Goya!

O, Grapes
of Wrath! With passion, I heaved to the West
the ashes of guests unwanted!
The stars that I nailed into memorial skies continue
glowing.

I’m Goya!
