| When the drinking days are over
|
| My friend is combed and shaved
|
| And speaks of the high
|
| No longer passionate, but calm,
|
| And even somehow indifferent
|
| As if everything is by itself.
|
| He expresses himself well
|
| And another is drawn to life.
|
| But it is unlikely that Sadness will dry up,
|
| Like rain and popsicle.
|
| Without causes
|
| In a white shirt
|
| He will look out the window.
|
| On top of a forgotten thick book
|
| And cigarettes without fire,
|
| A glassy look will move
|
| Landscapes on a cloudy day.
|
| And, looking at the deserted beach
|
| Two crazy people in a negligee
|
| He won't smile and even
|
| Will not envy already.
|
| It broke
|
| All that I dreamed
|
| On a trifle, but in the meantime
|
| So early
|
| Wait from the stopcock
|
| Solutions to all problems.
|
| And again with lead in my eyes
|
| He will leave Khrushchev's house,
|
| Where are the drunks in the yard abyss
|
| And the doctor is upstairs.
|
| And fly away to a distant city,
|
| Where life still flows
|
| Where was he so loved and young,
|
| And maybe meet again
|
| With that gentle
|
| And hopeless
|
| Forgotten and dear
|
| And maybe
|
| She can't
|
| Note that he is different.
|
| And there will be a holiday, there will be guests,
|
| Patterns will twist the foliage,
|
| No one will have anger
|
| On the stupidity of the government,
|
| But only slight fatigue
|
| From music and from wine
|
| And sadness that there is so little left,
|
| And it remains to drink to the bottom
|
| That autumn
|
| What's in the ribbons of the glades,
|
| Soon he will start dancing
|
| Like honey
|
| Zelenka with iodine,
|
| Healing forests. |
