Мы будем странным тандемом. Розой и аспирином. Друг...

We will be a strange tandem.
Rose and aspirin.
To each other, prolonging life is fun and sleepless.
You - to imagine my women
I - to shake hands with your men.
And for each other - to bite into the throats and drink bourbons.

Give each other to children
whether John Lennon’s records,
whether Tom Waits drives
Guy Fawkes Masks ...

What difference does it make, who is sawing with whom, who is pressing with whom,
who wakes up with whom?
The wick is too thin for absurdity
and too easy
will explode.

So little time is left ...
And we stand and watch how slowly
the sun rises
over remade
crossroads
Petrozavodsk ...

And everyone who ate a ton of salt,
but failed to cross your threshold
were there many of them?

I ask only of God -
to cross it not on a shift in an ambulance suit ...
Not in the empty corridor of cardiology ...
Don't sit like that anymore
confused
lonely and

damn list of their losses do not cement
in rows.

You do not listen to me.
I don’t measure pain on you!
I do not exchange intentions
on the ruble!
Just like you
I probably more
generally
I love nothing ...

You and I will be a strange tandem.
Cool room
alcohol
and a doorway.

Of everything Bonnie gives Clyde for her birthday,
most valuable -
it's time to be alone.
