The Date in a Hospital

Someday, an ill will force me to lie down,
And then - dissolve in heat haze of the space.
Through grim delusion, still can see some pretty face...
Did not You came to finery of death?

Ah, You and I - wouldn`t have time (Like I thought!)
Among the flashing lights of Nevskiy Prospekt
To share our ecstasy with crowd... But - God.
He did not add this issue in the abstract.

But here I am again in flying through the city
On the subsiding wings of some sonata,
Can`t hear Your words addressed to doctor, Pretty,
In silence and in overall exhaustion.

Once more the drug`s injected in a vein,
The doctor walks away, You`re staying beside me.
The saving troop is flowing through the brain
Like all-forgiving healing bane,
Or - the insider.
