Help with a poem in Hungarian

Dear All,

I received a poem about writer Varlam Shalamov in Hungarian. I don't know
any Hungarian, and don't know anyone who does. I put it in google translate,
but it didn't translate all the words. I would be grateful if someone could
translate it for me. It is not very long. It follows my signature, and the
google translate translate, for what it is worth, follows that.

Thank you in advance for any help!
Best,
Laura

 

   In memoriam Varlam Salamov

 

            /memory haiku/

 

           Szurdok falához

           gombolyult holt juharból

           sarjad egy fenyő

       

            Vörösfenyőág

            érzi a fagy illatát

            ébred a napon

 

            Reggel és este

            gyémántpatájú éhség

            lobog szemében

 

            Kenyérfejadag

            utoljára a kézben

            hűlő árnyékban

 

           Fehér madarak

           a nyírfa tündéreken

           jöjjetek érte

 

          Ragyogjatok

          fájdalom gyöngyszemei

          a sírja felett

 

 

In memoriam Varlam Salamov

             / memory haiku /

 

            gorge wall

            gombolyult dead maple

            matures into a pine

         

             Vörösfenyőág

             feel the smell of frost

             wake the sun

 

             Morning and evening

             gyémántpatájú hunger

             flag in the eyes of

 

             Bread Ration

             last-in-hand

             range down shade

 

            white birds

            Fairy in the birch

            it come

 

           shine

           Pearls of pain

           Above the grave
