Tо metaphor lovers
Fear neighs as a horse,
wails as a bittern.
snicker and shout is
the beginning of sense.
Sense is bridled laughter,
And laughter is
protective reaction of soul
before the meeting of Flesh and Death.
Death
is inanimate Universe,
That we cannot
to feel and comprehend.
We are a part of Life,
that have mastered some area of Death.
We aren’t its best exponents -
gamblers,
transforming the Sun into nil,
and man into identity.
