In transparent Petropolis we shall die,
Ruled over us of Proserpine.
We're in every breath a death drink the air,
And every hour we are mortal Godin.
Goddess of the sea, fierce Athena,
Take the mighty stone helmets.
B the transparent Petropolis we shall die,-
Reigned there, not you, but Proserpina.

Greige spring.
Yet actually
Rustling sand, boiling wave.
But here enters my soul,
Like Persephone, in an easy circle,
And in the realm of the dead does not happen
Lovely tanned hands.

Gentle gentle
The face,
Whiter than white
Your hand
From the whole world
You are far,
And all yours -
From the inevitable.
From the inevitable
Your sorrow,
And fingers
Postively,
And quiet sound
Resilient
Speeches,
Dal
Your eyes.

And discovered an azure grotto...

Jump into the thick grass.

The earth's life and beauty?
And that remind me managed,
Who am I and what is my dream.

I returned to my city familiar to tears,
To veins, to child raised, tender glands.
You returned here, so swallow as well
Fish oil of Leningrad's river lamps.
<...>
I'm on the stairs black live in the temple
Hits I ripped out the meat call
And all night long waiting for the dear guests,
Stirring the shackles of door chains.

But I'm not a wolf in their blood,
Shove me better as cap in the sleeve
Hot fur coat of the Siberian steppes.

The need or reason
Commands on earth
But the man draws a diamond
As a pliable glass:
Orchestra gala set,
Elements faithful servants,
Blast away leaves, the winds sing -
I don't want my destiny.

From the easy life we went crazy:
Morning wine and evening hangover.
How to keep the fun in vain,
Glow your gentle of the plague?
<...>
We are waiting for death, as a fairy-tale wolf
But I fear that before anyone dies
One who has a disturbing red mouth
And the eyes falling bangs.

Don't tell me about eternity
I can't accommodate.
But how can eternity not to forgive
My love, my carelessness?
I hear it grows
And the midnight shaft rolls
But too much will suffer
Who is too close.

Illuminated by the moon nocella
Silent mouse the field;
Transparent stand trees,
Covered with dark -
When the Rowan, developing
The leaves that die
Jealous, fingering
Their vyalenie emerald, -
The sad fate of wandering
And gentle the lot of children;
And thousands of green fingers
Ranges many branches.

We live under him not sensing the country
Our speech ten steps are not heard,
And where is enough for Parshevica,
There will recall the Kremlin mountaineer.
His thick fingers like worms, fat,
And the words, as pood weights are correct,
Cockroach laugh mustache,
And the shaft of his Shine.

But time removes the purpose of:
And staff of the weary ash,
And copper miserable zwell.
