Scorpio. From the "Signs" series

The work is dedicated to the corresponding zodiacal sign and contains elements symbolizing the sign (the actual symbol of the sign, the planet, flowers, stones, etc.).
The work serves as an illustration to the author's poem of the same name from the cycle "Signs".

Signs. Scorpio

A year is like a ribbon of pistols,
Pshik - and it's dawn again....
Raise your banners!
Bought a ticket to eternity.

Chrysanthemums with oak trees
Under a dangerous tail,
Lonely dreams
Not now, not later

The shivers of centuries will not be quenched
In millions of hearts
Scorpio's children,
Everyone is a star plaintiff.

In them are the mists of Pluto
And opalescent heat,
Protected countries
And the nectar of hope.

The sign is graceful and true,
Drunk, angry, young.
He's also in the riffs of the immortal
Keeps the Smoke over the water*.
