The other side s shots

He comes to door, and walks seeking nothing at all
his face is alight, but the key is shaking in pocket of coat
some strange shadow over his left side,
elevator's scary noise and new round of fight
life is simple when waiting for the other side's shots

he's a walking battle, every day he's burned to the ground
crows weave garlands, dogs bark from right around
littlest mistake and spring will be outta sight,
hence grandeur in every string's plight
he sleeps dressed, waiting for the other side's shots

every tram's a guillotine, and every third one aims at your back
and the risk grows on with each and every new year
purple and white--the symbols are so bright,
don't stand near the load, or you'll get drawn inside
we're gonna move on, dancing to the other side's shots
can't you hear the music of the other side's shots


Рецензии
Всегда стихи по-англ. читаю несколько раз, дабы схватить рифму и темп.
Интересно написал, "Лорд Брайтон" - оригинальные метафоры, аллюзии...
Типа, дуэль происходит?

Хотя я как-то туго англ. поэзию воспринимаю - наверное, потому что язык неродной.
Проза как-то легче идет.
