Водоворот безумный в рот,
Я наливал тебе компот,
И двадцать пять коробок лета
Я паковал себе в комод.
Желтело, осень поступала,
А тело согревал портвейн,
Пришла ты в черном и сказала:
«А ну, красавчик, ахуей».

This poem is like port wine under the skin: warm, chaotic, defiantly alive. It doesn’t pretend to be refined — and that’s exactly its power. Feeling, lust, sentimentality, and rebellion all fit in the same dresser drawer. Being yourself sometimes means not holding back an “ah-****-yeah” when everything really is that good.
