Black,Red and Gold

BLACK,RED and GOLD Location---SOMEWHERE IN KÖNIGSBERG 1945 APRIL 9 Scene---A Dying German Agent/A Soldier`s thoughts/reflections just before death On this periphery of life Let blue jeans of my ice blonde Brenda wear me to marry with death Fire will be her gown, ashes shall be my girdle, shattered is everything beneath Smokes so discerned sprawling Some will say it was a poetic corpse after so deadly the strife Wrapped in unknown funerary fetes My blood will be poured in cask of mimicks A yawn concealing me in semicolon as I saw I was dying, sickened of the sicks All the ravens of sorcery lurking the corner in full stops As if I knew nothing following the wisdom of Socrates Boots and kilt emphasizing my lost treasure At last the casket to embrace me from the provocateur No persuasive argument will be my candy, a keepsake solidarity in barter A marked plot spewed by shrewd men An aftermath velvet and a last squint of Prussia far and near Death so dear only to see if the lady in red silk I loved has red roses My dear Soviet plezhvadya for the wide-brimmed black hat, red bloody eyes hers, a gunshot ,yellow mouthful venom of words oozing out in raucous abuses Hatred carped in end and unend Olesya, good as gold my Olesya Now the bastion they called bastards buccaneered before her epithet Kaliningrad`s cloud full of black so black an obnoxious smoke Davai! Davai! they shouted and again nemesis eavesdropped Eagles died I know not if a death of glory as I felt I saw an 1871 gauntlet That’s my last shot of life before I became death`s forgotten lucky bloke Vocabulary --1-Plezhvadya(Russian/Czech)- A Soviet dish 2.Davai!(Russian)--Let`s do it, Come on! 3.Obnoxious-extremely unpleasant 4.Gauntlet-An armored glove of the tectonic Knights 5.Raucous-Harsh,Sharp,Loud 6.Barter-Exchange,Trade,Swap without use of money 7.Buccaneer-Maruader,Plunderer,Raider
