. . . that summer, having lost my job (. . . тем летом, потеряв работу, я)
Venice in winter (Зимой в Венеции туристы топ да топ, кто в чер)
Light trembles in the keyhole (В замочной скважине колеблющийся свет,)
The roads of Western Europe hum (Как парашютные натянутые стропы)
Philosophy is useless (Нет толку в философии. Насколько)

Another poet came into being ()
Perhaps when our bodies throb and rub ()
I broke your heart ()
Tenderly on a tender surface ()
Learn to look past ()
Whose face and body would I like to have? ()
Why is the word YES so brief? ()
If there is something to desire ()
A beast in winter ()
Enough painkilling, heal ()
Why do I recite my poems by heart? ()

Immortal: neither dead nor alive ()
Begged him: do not fall asleep ()

I walk the tightrope ()
Eyes of mine ()
If you want, we can part with a smile ()
At last you and I are one ()
He pissed on a firefly ()
At the piano: my back to the world ()
Against the current of blood ()
Eternalise me just a bit ()
Armpits smell of linden blossom ()
Writing down verses, I got ()

Butterfly ()

Моя тоска – домашняя зверюшка. ()
