♠️Королевы ковров
И кухонных красот,
Отрывают пасти
И уходят в ночь.
Покоряют вершины,
Зарываются в мох
И по квадрату ковра
Стираются прочь.

This poem is about women breaking free from domestic routines — the kitchen, the carpet — and stepping into the night in pursuit of their own summit. They are no longer "interior decor," but active agents. Every step across the rug is a step toward themselves.
Things, people, and petty moments seem to be running away from me now, even though I do not question them or interrogate them; it is no longer enough to simply pay attention to them or to turn to them in a way that is hypocritical and manipulative, when the outside world is merely playing itself out again in a hypocritical manner. Inside my soul, the earth-shaking desire to escape my seemingly restless ethereal stress and tension once and for all and to free myself from the sins of my frail earthly affairs still rages incessantly.

Philosophical tendencies that weave cobwebs still start tremblingly, hesitantly, if the interpretation of real life is the set and only essential goal; the Soul is at the mercy of, and unprotected from, a single, utterable, honest, tingling tremor, which only a heart can give to a heart. I keep shouting at the little child inside me, who often wants to stomp, and who dares to speak the truth for me.

I just don't have to tolerate the fact that the stumbling, vile memory rattles its crunchy, withered branches above my head, wanting to break off. I am still forced to exist in an increasingly vulnerable, sensitive zone, where I cannot be accepted, only a passing stranger, Silent pathnomios rummaging through the garbage of the day, hoping to find Darius' treasures. People, like determined criminals, are trying to rush along small, invisible, stretched tracks, more and more determined, after their increasingly pathetic, meaningless, useless plans!
Дивная дама давила,
Ходила как крокодила,
После бурной ночи с милым
Она у окна курила.
Вот говорит мой милый:
Как верно экО или Эко?
И как раскидать по урнам
Вчерашний гандон и Просэко.

This poem plays on the fine line between ****** pleasure and domestic reflection. It’s not about moralizing — but rather about ironic eco-activism in the bedroom: condoms, Prosecco, and trash sorting become symbols of a new urban ethic. Caring for the planet begins with light irony — and the ability to stay aware, even in a post-party haze.
Роден ваял из силикона
И прочих вешних мутей
Себе Венеру-примадонну,
С глазами Тутти-Фрутти.
И высекал из неба искры,
Лелея Сакраменто,
Чтоб голова легла по форме
На хуй у постамента.

This poem is about the right to shape oneself — and one’s body — as a work of art. Rodin here is not just a sculptor, but a symbol of desire, molding form, freedom, and sexuality. It’s a poetic fantasy where the body becomes a playground for power and lust. To be Venus is to be self-made — by your own will.
Губы, ресницы, скулы,
Жопа, спортзал, вся хуйня.
Купил вчера себе куклу —
Ну, здравствуй, Барби моя.
Ты точно не Кена искала,
И я искал не любви.
Осталось дело за малым —
Зарядку найти и носки.

This poem plays with the aesthetics of modern perfection — bodies, routines, artificial love. Behind the irony is the right to desire, to choose your own version of intimacy. The plastic world here is not shameful — it’s just another frontier of ****** autonomy.
Она рыдала в туалете
Гостиницы «Континенталь» —
Её ебали те и эти,
И вдруг себя ей стало жаль.
И вдруг однажды на рассвете
Она решила полюбить,
Но, как листали те и эти,
Никак уже ей не забыть.

This poem captures an inner turning point — the moment when the past no longer defines you but becomes a stepping stone. The heroine is not a victim, but someone capable of rewriting her story. It's a poetic statement: I remember, but now I choose to love.
Я люблю ебанутых и странных,
Может, я ебанутый псих?
Утоляю свою эту жажду
Нестандартными смыслами книг.
Бесконечно радуюсь Жизни,
И всегда, и везде на коне!
Но вопрос в голове — исторический:
Ебанутая нахуй, ты где?

When “normal” becomes suffocating, there’s only one thing left — to be yourself, even if it’s “****** up.” The speaker isn’t ashamed of their weirdness — in fact, they’re in love with those who don’t fit. This is about the energy of freedom, absurdity, and tenderness toward the non-normative.
Yu 6h
thank you for the memories you have gifted me
thank you for the times i cherish deeply
i missed you so much
between every line, every wall of text
every waiting blue sky, every waning blue interest
eventually you fade away, like all good things
maybe i’m wrong for clinging onto you
trying to hold you tight, hoping you wouldn't let go
but even my best efforts were futile
you slipped away, so quietly i couldn't do a thing
every laugh, every smile, back when times were simpler
i miss everything so dearly, so **** much
but i can’t take it back
no matter how much i try
the only end i see is a goodbye
to my memories, my forgotten past
the only thing left is a farewell isn’t it
this wasn't my intention, not at all
maybe its better this way
to disappear without a word
so you don't feel an ounce of guilt
you can sleep on peacefully
just like i have when i flew with
my clipped, broken wings
why did i try to fly?
Yu 6h
in my death, you seek closure
and now, you will blame everyone but yourself
i know you will
i give up, im done
see me no more
perceive me no longer
then i can rest easy
closing my eyes one final time
Yu 6h
the sun rises from the horizon
just these thoughts
this tightness in my chest
every single second
it ticks by slowly
passing away
the spark in your eyes
it fades quickly
like everything else
and how you died in my memory
