| I was both weak and vulnerable, trembling with my whole being,
 | 
| He bled with his sick, tormented gut, -
 | 
| And, as if in a vulgar potpourri, a huge forehead appeared in the door
 | 
| And lit up from within with healthy evil.
 | 
| But the hand twitched imperiously: "Lie facing the wall!"  | 
| —
 | 
| And so they began to knead my sides on the sticky trestle bed.
 | 
| And the most important - sat down at the table, sighed wildly
 | 
| And he brought something on me, similar to a "case".
 | 
| And he brought something on me, similar to a "case".
 | 
| Here, in the tenacious and thin fingers, the Adam's apple twitched funny,
 | 
| They pressed in the groin, then under the belly, on the poor fellow's liver.
 | 
| When they pressed under the ribs - how my insides throbbed!
 | 
| And the pen spit blood into innocent paper.
 | 
| In half delirium, in half heat stripped naked, -
 | 
| In the corner, an old hag was preparing a needle, -
 | 
| And from the roots of the hair to the toes, horror weaved through the body:
 | 
| What if they put him to sleep with an injection so that the sleepy one breaks?!
 | 
| What if they put him to sleep with an injection so that the sleepy one breaks?!
 | 
| He, working on my stomach, squeezed my skull, and then
 | 
| He pulled my forearms with a tourniquet and the blood flow was interrupted.
 | 
| I used to squeal, but fell silent, - dry lips to the castle, - | 
| And he groaned, grimaced, wet, wrote and rejoiced.
 | 
| He went into a rage - a familiar rage - but I how to yell:
 | 
| “What are you writing?  | 
| Well, show me the secret mura!..”
 | 
| Assistant - a former psychopath - tied my wrists, -
 | 
| Dimmed, laid out in a row, the instruments of passion.
 | 
| Dimmed, laid out in a row, the instruments of passion.
 | 
| I rub and beat, and my temper is cool, I can - peddling, I can - hype, -
 | 
| But here they will humble, but here they will take away - I bow and miss.
 | 
| I'm lying naked as a falcon, and the main one - sniffing and sniffing at the table -
 | 
| Everyone writes something in the protocol, although I do not answer.
 | 
| No, you need to save your strength, otherwise you are weak, tired, -
 | 
| After all, soon the heels will burn, so that I laugh,
 | 
| I keep on the nerve, on the alert, but I feel disgusting, -
 | 
| They put an intestine down my throat - I spat it back out.
 | 
| They put an intestine down my throat - I spat it back out.
 | 
| I am taken in a vise, I am taken in pincers - they crawl on me, they crawl on me,
 | 
| Everyone wants to call, find out, everyone tries by touch.
 | 
| Not even five minutes will pass here, when the soul is taken out, crushed,
 | 
| Everything will be defiled, torn, squeezed and rinsed.
 | 
| “Breathe, breathe deeply through your mouth!  | 
| Yes, breathe out - you will die! | 
| “Exhale here - then it’s unlikely that you will even breathe!”
 | 
| With all my parched mouth, I bare my teeth: “Well, order!
 | 
| The number won’t work with me, comrades-guys!”
 | 
| The number will not work with me, comrades-guys!"
 | 
| They turned off the light and turned on the gas, some kind of board lit up, -
 | 
| And pus splashed from the eyes, and the trachea gurgled.
 | 
| And he went berserk, went into ecstasy, for some reason they dragged the basin ...
 | 
| I saw it once - a film as a trophy.
 | 
| They come to me from behind and give me an injection...
 | 
| "Inject, you sons of bitches, but give the protocol!"
 | 
| I even got down on my knees, I pressed my forehead to the pelvis;
 | 
| I demanded and threatened, pleaded and humiliated myself.
 | 
| I demanded and threatened, pleaded and humiliated myself.
 | 
| But they tightened the tourniquet, I see there - they are burning the spirit lamp,
 | 
| All the red devil is waiting with a hair whip.
 | 
| Where, where, and then they will take their own!  | 
| And I guess, old jester:
 | 
| When is the red-hot rod - now or later?
 | 
| The Sabbat was hot and bald, the sweat poured hot, -
 | 
| There was a ringing - and the raven sat on the white shoulder.
 | 
| And the raven shouted: "Nevermore!"  | 
| - he is agile and quick, -
 | 
| Reminds me: a torture chamber opens right into the morgue.
 | 
| Reminds me: a torture chamber opens right into the morgue. | 
| I weakly raise my tail, although for them I am stupid and simple:
 | 
| "Hey!  | 
| You will have to answer for your biased interrogation!
 | 
| You, as you are called by name, have returned to the old days!
 | 
| But the interrogation protocol must be given to us!”
 | 
| And I mow over my shoulder at that scribble:
 | 
| “I won’t sign this for you until I read it!”
 | 
| Someone's yellow back answered me impassively:
 | 
| "But your signature is not needed - everything is clear to us without it."
 | 
| "But your signature is not needed - everything is clear to us without it."
 | 
| "Sister, dear, do not be afraid - I will not be silent, I will not wipe myself,
 | 
| I'll get off the protocol when I meet with a lawyer!
 | 
| I didn’t say anything to them, I didn’t show them to anyone, -
 | 
| Tell everyone I knew: I remained their brother!”
 | 
| He said, drawing a line: "Read, they say, and cool down!"
 | 
| I dug into that scribbling, and there is only Latin ...
 | 
| There are circles in the eyes, zeros in the brain, damned fear, disappear:
 | 
| They just took a medical history!
