Мы за все платим. Где-то деньгами. Где-то душой
Шрифт:
– Kiss your daughter goodbye! – that was the only thing that inadvertently rolled off my lips.
– I did already.
– Then kiss her again.
– I kissed her. Why are you getting at me? It’s complicated enough.
And at that very moment I thought that you unveiled your psychic powers. No matter how stupid we become, our intuition never fails us. So I thought.
Leaving, you hunkered next to me, and said: “And yet, you’re still my flesh and blood”. That is the ballast – the weight that regulates the how low a submarine can dive, and or how high an air balloon can fly. The only thing I wanted was to weep, to hug you by the neck, to beg you earnestly to stay, but I restrained myself. You grabbed the bag, you closed the door, and in two hours took to flight, turning the globe like a living atlas from the skies.
And at that point there was no “us”, “we” were no more. Then there were courts, and tears, and joy, relief and scandal, nerves, exhausted dreams, exhaustion from insomnia that attacked us without end.
We parted when I neglected your feelings, when you desired something more, something unrestrained, light, and unprincipled. It was a time when I lacked the wisdom not to scream and not to prove myself right. When our parents decided that we weren't created to love each other as they wished. When you raised your hand at me for the first time and many other times, where we saw only ourselves but didn't see 'us.
– on how we parted
Каждый раз наш ребёнок рисует Маму, Папу и Себя, сердце и, обязательно, чтобы держались за руки.
В паспорте запись «брак расторгнут». Но это ничто, пустота, бренность мира, неудачная попытка любви к себе, обиды, что засели глубоко и не смогли покинуть нас вовремя, задушили, заглушили душераздирающее «Эхо любви». Тогда мы неосознанно выбрали композицию Анны Герман «Эхо любви» в качестве первого свадебного танца, но позже эта песня стала берегом, на который вынесло все осколки нашего кораблекрушения.
Катастрофа и бедствие, что нас постигли, – всего лишь эпизод жизни, маленькое предисловие.
А
вечность – вот она: мы всегда будем жить ВСЕ ВМЕСТЕ у неё на картинках. Вот так, идеально, за руки и обязательно в любви.– все вместе
Every time our child draws Mommy, Daddy and Herself. And a heart. And we must all hold hands.
There is a stamp in our passports: “Marriage is annulled”. But that is nothing, passing elements of the world, the inability to love oneself, the wounds that are deep inside and which cannot just leave us, it all overwhelmed the piercing Echo of Love. Back then we inadvertently chose Anna German’s Echo of Love for our first wedding dance, but then that song became the shore, to which the shipwreck of our marriage was carried onto.
And the catastrophe that took us is just an episode in life, a small foreword.
And in eternity we all will live TOGETHER, as in our daughter’s drawings. Ideally, hand in hand, in love.
– all together
– Ты не рациональна! – бросили в меня, как подушку в спящего человека с утра.
И тут я представила, какой бы была моя жизнь, будь я рациональной. Сколько бы я не сделала, сколько бы не совершила, какую бы скучную жизнь я проживала, сколько бы не узнала и не увидела, будь бы я хоть маленько рациональной.
Я вздрогнула, закатила глаза, сняла пот с лица, перекрестилась и сделала два глотка рома прям с утра.
– два глотка рома
– You’re so irrational! – the phrase was thrown at me like a pillow into a sleeping person in the morning.
And I imagined how my life would look, had I been rational. What I would not achieve, what I would never do, what I would never learn or see, what boring life I’d lead, had I been at least a bit, a trifle rational.
I flinched, rolled my eyes, wiped the sweat from my face, crossed myself, and took two sips of rum right in the morning.
– two sips of rum
Жизнь – кайф.
Просто необходимо всё время менять ракурсы.
Life is a thrill.
You simply need to change perspectives all the time.
Море для меня – мама.
К нему можно приехать и просто отдохнуть.
The sea for me is like a mother.
You can simply come to it and rest.
