Blood and whiskey



I don't get all your messages
Your songs can lay dormant 
In the back of my mind
Half swirled away 
on the winds of no time
Like painted swimmers 
Drowning in space 

But I read all your poems 
Like a greedy brat 
Every word's a heart beat 
Every blur a motion
Every brittle whisper
Kicking at my fate
Music and poetry you showed me
queen cat wet rat 
Imbue my blood like whiskey 
Sun flares in lipstick

I want to skinny-dip in that dimension 
of viscous and florid harmony
And swim like a star in water 
My infernal consolation
Bleeding in ecstatic modulation
Like a new born ripple 
Cracking from its shell.

20.06.2016. Voykovskaya to Baumanskaya. Monday afternoon, Moscow.
