“The sticky sky smells blue-gray …” by Velimir Khlebnikov 🇷🇺 (9 Nov 188528 Jun 1922)
Translated from the Russian by & Paul Schmidt
The sticky sky smells blue-gray, it’s the odor of udder.
Show me some loving, be good to me!
I am bleeding. You are my fatality.
I am nailed up to die on an old empty tree.
