YOUR ORIGIN
(in Memory Boris Pasternak
1890-1960)

Your chosen origin
is back to your own nature
since you were
named Boris Pasternak
as a mature Pushkin
but we who believe
in a Russian poetry
we thank eternity
that no Party hack
could take away
your literary prize
that you were unfrozen
in your heart and soul
whose source
never sank in burial
but who was raised
in the memorial
of praise
in the goal of art
with an editorial
from the eternal Jesus
and the Virgin
in paradise.
