м у FItiST PySANKA pySANKy by GINA M. TABASSO by IRYNA AND IHOR KALYNETS In order to be fertile I bow to my grandfather's dream of coloring within the lines and shading with the side of my crayon — sketching with light strokes is easier to erase while drawing is solid lines dug into the paper, grooved. I can't do this with an egg, wax and kistka or I will puncture the shell and see the sun in the center of this womb on which I place colors and symbols that mean wheat, tears, children — nesting around this embryo that will never be bom because I have traded for it and give its fertility as a gift to my grandfather's Chorny Lis. ІЇА Т Т У TJAST'T'R With a strange stylet and bees' wax My mother traces designs on the white egg shell. The pysanka runs all over the little plates Filled with the golden stew of onion skin, Infusion of herbs and tree barks, Potion of spring and autumn leaves - and the pysanka bums of the orange color in the filigree of interlaced lines. And here it is, like a fantastic world, that tinkles like a sun clot, where flowers wildly seethe in the dew, and little deer in the birch sap. And the stylized gardens are interwoven In the thick frames of the month of May, With the thinnest lines of open work it shimmers of geometric cosmic ornaments. And I got lost in the world of children's dreams On the white wrapper of my cradle ... The brilliant suns through the pysanky were rolling down from above into my mother's hands.
