Fatigue/Усталость

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Ruthless numbers flee,
Who knows how many of them are left?
Above the sleepy city hung
Unbearable fatigue.

She crept quietly to the head,
I took the knife leisurely
And, reveling in the warm blood,
My corpse threw back fastidiously.

And it became, suddenly, easily and simply,
I left, laughing silently,
And me from the flickering bridge
The crafty Krishna was already waving.

Shaking with a diamond earring
In the setting of gold and copper,
He pounded a crystal spoon
By the blue sky firmament.

And the magic ring was so sweet,
So fantastically beautiful,
That I believed in the power of fairy tales
And the rightness of old fables.

Without regrets and sobbing
I smoothly went to meet myself,
Keeping the Flaming Banner
Over the icy road of the Milky Way.

Forgetting where the top is, where the middle is,
In the coordinateless lawlessness
Glided behind the god dark blue
In the elusive subtle body.

And the city fought monotonously
In the dying convulsions of the night,
And on his brow with concrete
Sparks of bleeding sparkled.


Бегут безжалостные числа,
Кто знает – сколько их осталось?
Над сонным городом повисла
Невыносимая усталость.

Прокралась тихо к изголовью,
Достала нож неторопливо
И, упиваясь тёплой кровью,
Мой труп отбросила брезгливо.

И стало, вдруг, легко и просто,
Я уходил, смеясь неслышно,
И мне с мерцающего моста
Уже махал лукавый Кришна.

Тряся бриллиантовой серёжкой
В оправе золота и меди,
Он колотил хрустальной ложкой
По голубой небесной тверди.

И звон волшебный был так сладок,
Так фантастически прекрасен,
Что я поверил в силу сказок
И в правоту старинных басен.

Без сожалений и рыданья
Я плавно шёл к себе навстречу,
Держа пылающее знамя
Над ледяной дорогой Млечной.

Забыв, где верх, где середина,
В координатном беспределе
Скользил за богом тёмно-синим
В неуловимом тонком теле.

А город бился монотонно
В предсмертных судорогах ночи,
И на челе его бетонном
Сверкали капли кровоточий.
