THE NATURAL FLOW OF THINGS
I heard
from old stories,
some gypsies
they taught the horse to starve.
He died after some time.
/That’s how they taught him to starve,
when he draws
It will also be heard
from our story,
some poet
taught the woman to get over it.
She left after some time.
She learned how to get over it
and love it
friend
/natural course of things/
A CLOUD IN TROUSERS
During those years
I was a cloud
In trousers.
I was Mayakovsky.
And I did not want
To be a poet
Not at least your poet
Or theirs.
I did not want them to say
How I lived
Or died because of you.
How I died because of love.
I wouldn’t want them to be wrong.
I lived love
With you
And with everyone of them.
During those years
I was a cloud in trousers
With a hole on the belt.
