Clangclangclangclangclangclang clang clang

beat the metal interruption through field to wood;

grasshoppers hopped, deer peered,

a boy’s ears perked, action ceased where he stood.


Wood branch, his, by will; mighty sword fending off invisible hordes

on last clang fell among the dead, but a stick once more.

Bounding home, fairly skimming, brimming of visions

of piled plates awaiting the warrior-boy, a last panting leap!

the table so neat, pot breathing steam, scraping chair on kitchen floor.


Что на обед, мама?

Капуста и колбаса, Pavlov.
