| From the bed to the north we roll in a cozy compartment.
|
| People write letters home, and we have crosswords, scanwords.
|
| Melting kilometers outside the window. |
| The queue is long for boiling water.
|
| Bed linen is opened with a mouth, white sheets are covered.
|
| The conductor will take the ticket, stuffing them into the book trembling;
|
| And every day, as at the last moment, he sees people off forever.
|
| Lights outside the window. |
| Far from home, but so familiar.
|
| Finish reading your book later, and tell me what it's about.
|
| If you play, then for me.
|
| If you cook, then for me.
|
| And if the trains take me -
|
| Follow me, don't forget me.
|
| If you play, then for me.
|
| If you cook, then for me.
|
| And if the trains take me -
|
| Follow me, don't forget me.
|
| Voices between cars. |
| I feel someone is smoking in the vestibule.
|
| People in uniform. |
| Toilets are closed and won't open soon.
|
| In the photo you will be recognized and asked: "Where are you?"
|
| You answer: "To the end. To the end, there and back."
|
| Rolltons rustle; |
| champing, heard from the edge of the car.
|
| Baton crumbs are scattered underfoot, like beads.
|
| The fluff from the pillow flies, slowly falling directly onto the hands.
|
| Let it serve as a bookmark on this distant road.
|
| If you play, then for me.
|
| If you cook, then for me.
|
| And if the trains take me -
|
| Follow me, don't forget me.
|
| If you play, then for me.
|
| If you cook, then for me.
|
| And if the trains take me -
|
| Follow me, don't forget me.
|
| If you play, then for me.
|
| If you cook, then for me.
|
| And if the trains take me -
|
| Follow me, don't forget me. |
