“This is how hunger begins …” by Daniil Kharms

“This is how hunger begins …” by Daniil Kharms 🇷🇺 (1905 – 1942)

Translated from the Russian by Robert Chandler

This is how hunger begins:

first you wake in good cheer,

then weakness begins,

and then boredom,

and then comes the losss

of the power of swift reason

and then comes calm—

and then the horror.
