Shoulder

shoulder
allergic to power
silence chord
the face of hate
white madonna

     shoulder
     I must leave smiling / Vysotsky
shadow from shadow, echo from echo...
.........................
shoulder pissing, standing in a puddle
in the land of happy "beskonvoynikov"
where
day after day

     allergic to power
... there will still be memorial plaques:
"Here he drank and sang"
but for now -
greedy offspring reside
in the future museum-apartment...
.................
in the country where he was born
sentimentality
allegorical rain
allergic to power

     silence chord
suffering must always balance
unstoppable happiness
like death is life
like silence - a chord
......................
like the words "a little slower ..."

     the face of hate
The machine gunner ran out of ammo...
...............................
he refuses to believe
that it's all over
and hatred remains
"golden face with sweat" / Vysotsky

     white madonna
     there was only one day ... / Vysotsky
in a series of cold rainy...
white night - like "white madonna" ...
......................
...turning away from the wind
spoke in raised collar that
a slow drop crawled
