He's reborn Colossus
on a granite throne
in Karnak .

Silent in the corner
and sad looking -

ROMAN Wolf

Caracalla - Roman Emperor

Who even remember endeavor ,

where Romulus O world 's greatest master,

With eyes sunken
and terrible as death ,
Roman Wolf scratched
loomed darkly

And with them Vek
forgotten and weary ,
to another Age
And the sky
All fell to ruins
I can not howl Roman she-wolf ,
how miserable dog ,
Inquisitor

fantasy on the theme of the Middle Ages

Then ( knowingly reputed gourmet )
Durian other heavenly manna ,
ate goose
Under the ceiling with an iron chandelier
And our Father , as after a smooth,
pelvis in the mouth
He was supposed to replace him
someone in the chamber of torture
And left a surplus of food ,
wine jug -
All consoled poor joke ,
But grimly pushing a heavy chair
And the door flung ,
rage - yellow
It was
AGE OF CHIVALRY

Ready to dance

And so many years Until the bloody mire ,

IN THE SHADOW
Soviet
time


'Cause we Stalin's name
Song From Stalin
age

Copts in polnakala Lamp
And someone's ear the voice
Among the everyday bedlam ,
vastness of an old cabinet

poverty inspire greatness
As if immortal Kafka
A wind in the speaker
howled from outside , akin to the coyote
Do not forget one iota "
and Stalin's bravura march
sweetened life pill
throwing to choose from in terms of home :
