Let us not talk of the price.
You have beautiful eyes.
Such eyes can buy
half the world.
My lightning has shattered
into thousands of coins.
Such coins can also
come in handy enough.
Let us not buy one another.
Just make me a gift
of a single glance
without mistrust.
My future
was burnt by the lightning.
I really expect
from you nothing at all.
Amanda Aizpuriete (born 1956) Latvia
