Distance
Yes, I didn’t come here; I didn’t touch this soft body
I didn’t consume the wine where you were sleepy
It’s a long grassy lawn; splendid roof of the violet sky
Where the bed of roses kissed the bared lusty eyes
Long; for long time of my absence made all over void
Before the presence of me heard scattered annoyed
No chariot of knowledge crossed your scandalous lips
Dripping of bloody ink watered your roots of the nibs
I was not dead but lost everything on the planet of youth
As delirious now the footsteps find out the vagrant booth
Burned stars slough off on the door-sill of derelict poet
No classical singer comes to celebrate the letter of duet
Where you are living there I’m living also as the voice of song
The slippy tongue kills our harmony living without sturdy bone
