You And The Wine - The Russian Futurists

When our love was born

The Earth was torn

By such things

We rang out like horns

On Austrian morns

In the spring

The sounds that we made

Endlessly fade

Like a curse

And now you and the wine

Have become intertwined

And that’s worse

We wasted our youth

On dramatic half-truths

That were wrong

But the warmth of the sun

Was keeping us young

For so long

And with this next line

Everything’s fine

In the end:

There are increments of time

So complex and refined

That they bend

The whole summer grieves

We’re watching the leaves

As they fall

And you’re violin strings

And wonderful things

For us all

And you and the wine

Have become intertwined

And that’s worse

Than trying to find

A part of a mind’s

Dying verse
