DON'T LOOK  REPROACHFULLY, FAITHFUL MY DOG
(Free translation  from Russian by the author  Yosef Latman)

Don't look reproachfully, faithful  my dog,
Don't  look for flaws in me, friend  loved.
Life, you are knowing, is full of colored stripes,
And now... without wine, I'm like a drunk in haze.

Don't be scared of me , how wolves are afraid of fire,-
I'm afraid myself of my own shadow,
                and to calm  fear,
And not  to blame  myself for something dire,
I kneel before you now and here,
                thinking only of  real.

Pressing  cheek to your gray muzzle,
I cry  no reason  like over life's  puzzle.

While washing  in  morning with ice water even in frost,
I wait, old  fool,  good luck I'm long sought for.
