Igor Herbut: Ro

Everything, before you
Was just a rehearsal
Read aloud
In ordinarly striped shirts
Everything, before you
Just roughly sketched
By a random pencil
In a notebook
On a spiral

Everything, before you
Just preparing for a jump
Like ice skaters, frugantly
Frugantly
Marking the twist

And now, when you are
A kiss my every mistake
And each and every mistake of all my ancestors
And now, when you are
I kiss my every mistake
All of them brought us here
All of them brought us here

Everything, before you
Was like a movie synopsis
Read seriously at the meeting
Before the first movie slate
Everything, before you
Like a mock exam
Which has a result
But which doesn't matter
At all
Everything, before you
Like an earthquake simulation
Like fake alarm
It's just, just exercises
Exercises

And now, when you are
A kiss my every mistake
And each and every mistake of all my ancestors
And now, when you are
I kiss my every mistake
All of them brought us here
All of them brought us here
