Each is young young younger
Bellies full of devilish hunger
So fall in behind me…
Over my shoulder
I toss a proud screech
This laconic speech!
Let us feed on stones and grasses
Sweetness bitterness and asps
Let us gobble up the empty
The deep and the lofty
Beasts, monsters, fish, birds
Wind, clay, salt and surge.
(David Davidovich Burliuk)
