Just before you started
To read my poorly written text,
My muse immigrated
To one progressive country in the West.
My inspiration has expired
Like visa H-1B.
I am exhausted, I am tired.
And night is crooning lullaby.

EklaTante im Bus.
EklaTante sass im Buss und ärgerte sich über alles, was das Unglück
hatte, in ihr Gesichtsfeld zu gelangen.
Ungefähr so:
- Ei sowas von unverschämt!
Das is ja alles verHÜNZT,
des is alles verHÜNZT do.
Und do is es ooch verHÜNZT.
Also unmöglich sowas.
Und des, was is'n des da dribba für eines?!
Des is ja noch saaggemol!
Plötzlich druckte der Fahrer die Bremse.
Ungefähr so:
- Brem-
se.
Der Bus stand still.
Ungefähr so:
-Stilgestanden!
Und die EklaTante war sowas von empört, dass sie keine Worte mehr fand.
Ungefähr so:

осѣнь золотая или ВОШСПИПО
Верно подданный ветром осенним,
Опьяненный дождем за рукав,
Шел по улице, радужным пеньем
Сотрясаясь и взглядом лукав,
Переводчик Джованни Боккаччо
И прохожих дивил на ходу.
Победил он в себе неудачье.
Он был гением в этом году.
Опьяненный дождем за рукав,
Шел по улице, радужным пеньем
Сотрясаясь и взглядом лукав,
Переводчик Джованни Боккаччо
И прохожих дивил на ходу.
Победил он в себе неудачье.
Он был гением в этом году.

Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,
Which but to-day by feeding is allay'd,
To-morrow sharpened in his former might:
So, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill
Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness,
To-morrow see again, and do not kill
The spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness.
Let this sad interim like the ocean be
Which parts the shore, where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks, that when they see
Return of love, more blest may be the view;
Or call it winter, which being full of care,
Makes summer's welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.

Intensiv und very sharp
As it were Devils Harp,
Doch выходит, это я.

G-Man
Dedicated to G-Man.
When I'm running across the ruins,
When I'm staring at empty cityscapes,
I recognize your unimposing shape,
Somewhere among the roofs, chimneys and windows.
You're always staying still
With your gray business suit
With your briefcase
Silent. Absent. Present?
I often ask myself,
Whether you ever return home,
Your home sweet home.
Where your beauty sweetheart
Is waiting for you
With a warm kiss
On her lips.
Or perhaps
You'll just vanish,
Just disappear,
As I log off.
No briefcase
Anymore
No business suit
Anymore
Just darkness
Everlasting
Darkness
