Ноябрь
Ни теней, ни огня,
Ни рассвета, ни дня,
Ни луны и ни солнца в помине,
Ни небес, ни земли,
Ни просвета вдали,
Ни границ, ни предметов, ни сини,
Ни дорог, ни ручьёв,
Ни начал, ни концов,
Ни озябшего шпиля часовни,
Ни приезда гостей,
Ни веселых затей,
Никуда и не выбраться ровно,
Ни письма, ни газет,
Ни блаженства, ни бед,
Ни вестей ни с востока, ни с юга,
Ни пчелы, ни цветка,
Ни живого листка,
Ни тепла, ни утех, ни досуга,
Но туман, но разлад,
Но слова невпопад –
Но-ябрь!
