But There Has to Be More
Arseniy Tarkovsky
trans Kitty Hunter-Blair
Now summer is gone
And might never have been.
In the sunshine it's warm.
But there has to be more.
It all came to pass,
All fell into my hands
Like a five-petalled leaf,
But there has to be more.
Nothing evil was lost,
Nothing good was in vain,
All ablaze with clear light
But there has to be more.
Life gathered me up
Safe under its wing,
My luck always held,
But there has to be more.
Not a leaf was burnt up
Not a twig ever snapped . . .
Clean as glass is the day,
But there has to be more.
p191, Sculpting in Time by Andrey Tarkovsky
