In the footsteps of Joseph Brodsky in Venice 4 hours

Joseph Brodsky loved the "other" Venice - you will see it during this excursion. Joseph Brodsky wrote more than 40 years ago... Here I give some of my favorite poems by I. Brodsky.

Don't leave the room, don't make a mistake.
Why do you need the Sun if you smoke Shipka?
Behind the door everything is meaningless, especially the cry of happiness.
Just go to the toilet and come back immediately.

Oh, don't leave the room, don't call the motor.
Because the space is made from the corridor
and ends with a counter. And if a living one enters
Darling, open your mouth and kick me out without undressing.

Don't leave the room; consider yourself as having a draft.
What is more interesting in the world than a wall and a chair?
Why go out from where you will return in the evening?
the same as you were, especially crippled?

Oh, don't leave the room. Dance, catch the bossa nova
in a coat on a naked body, in shoes on bare feet.
The hallway smells of cabbage and ski wax.
You have written a lot of letters; one more will be superfluous.

Don't leave the room. Oh, let only the room
guesses what you look like. And generally incognito
ergo sum, as the substance in the hearts noted.
Don't leave the room! This isn't France outside.

Don't be a fool! Be what others weren't.
Don't leave the room! That is, give free rein to the furniture,
merge your face with the wallpaper. Lock yourself in and barricade yourself
a closet from chronos, cosmos, eros, race, virus.

*Having managed to fence himself off from people,
I want to fence myself off from myself.
Not a fence made of hewn poles,
and a mirror would be more useful here.
I contemplate the gloomy features,
stubble, bumps on the chin... A dressing table for a divorcing couple,
perhaps the best type of partition.
The twilight in the window creeps into it,
edge of ploughed land with huge starlings
and the lake is like a breach in the wall,
crowned with spruce teeth.

Look, it's coming from the lake holes
and in general - through any puddle
the outside world will crawl in here.
Or this one will crawl out.
1966

*I loved you. Love still (maybe just pain) drills into my brain,
Everything went to hell, into pieces. I tried to shoot myself, but it was difficult.
with weapons.
And then, whiskey: which one to hit?
It wasn't the trembling that spoiled it, but the thoughtfulness.
Damn! This is all so inhuman!

I loved you so much, hopelessly,
as God grant you others — — — but He will not!
He, being good at many things,
will not create - according to Parmenides -
twice this heat in the chest,
big boned crunch,
so that the fillings in your mouth melt from thirst
touch - "bust" I cross out - lips!
