Что касается звезд, то они всегда. То есть,...

As for the stars, they are always.
That is, if one, then the other behind it.
Only in this way can one look here:
in the evening, after eight, blinking.
The sky looks better without them. Although
space exploration is better if
with them. But it’s not going down
from a place on a bare veranda in an armchair.
Said half face in shadow
hiding, the pilot of one shell,
life, apparently, is not present anywhere, and neither
on one of them you will not hold your eyes.
