In Your Sleep |
I was fortunate in my Romanov life, |
Save for one aspect: the absence of a wife. |
Tired of these courtiers and their flaws |
I followed in the example set by Adam and God. |
I built your curves out of leather and brass. |
Stretched velvet skin over a porcelain mask. |
Fashioned eyes that would never know tears. |
Before your enamel dried I was endeared. |
My mechanical bride. |
My object of affection. |
My doll-eyed dream. |
You are pure perfection. |
I showed you the world from Paris to the Orient. |
Bought you the finest gifts on Nevsky Prospekt. |
Held you in my arms as we sailed the Neva river. |
Gave you my heart through all manner ofgestures. |
Talk of my madness filled the court parties. |
They laughed at your stiff dancing and constant silence. |
They called you the perfect wife for the man with no self-respect, |
Who couldn’t earn himself the pleasure of the flesh. |
My mechanical bride |
My clockwork creation |
My darkening dream |
You’ve become my unmaking. |
Maybe I should kill you in your sleep. |
I’ve already killed you in my dreams. |
Maybe I should kill you in your sleep. |
It would make life so much easier for me. |
I stand beside you in the dark of night, |
A Bordeaux in my left hand, a hammer in my right. |
As the winding chamber tightens your cold clockwork heart |
I beg God for the strength to smash you apart. |
How many times have I been in this position? |
My blow always stayed by the same vision: |
Of myself in tears, cradling your fractured face, |
Hating myself for loving this angel of disgrace. |
