This is the first translation of my Russian poetry. I tried to be accurate in translation.
burned inside out - managed to incinerate, spitting out,
only outside.
dry land crawls into the mouth, into the ears, and cracks the strings of long-narrowed
letters.
abandoned, dependent on - the minimum wage, left alone again betrothed by fate..


bones were gave out to gnaw - managed to get enough, spitting out the unnecessary, with souls
and brains, in which they had already settled a commune to work for free -
words would be better.
it would be better to have more words in the language, and to let fortune into the tongue in a tape-form of viscous saliva.


knocked down doors, windows, noses with their knees - managed to tear the meniscus.
in a row, one by one
settle accounts on the first and second and, in order to protect the spinal disc,
no need to get up.
you can try to burn it out, squeeze it out, knock it out again: a squeal was heard -
my pearly indifference
is pursuing your escape.


do you agree?
with a one heart.
