his curly hairs extended by deep whiskers
just ending before they evolve into a beard
that is featuring his high bust in the park
A head that can only be watched closely
from below its Doric pedestal
and his chin is shortly followed by his
broad mouth slightly opening its thick lips
A straight nose hooks upon his eyes
nearly remaining blind like Omeros'
under deep brows and hairs abounding
like grapes to an ancient portrait
As poet of poets Pushkin is enthroned in
Chisinau garden like a Moldovan aristocrat
taking a step black his irises
appear impassioned circles
Searching as much around as inside
supported by pathos of his voice.
