About Mandelshtam.My live under him without feeling the country,
Our speech ten steps are not audible,
And where is enough for polrazgovortsa,
They recall the Kremlin mountaineer.
His thick fingers like worms, fat,
And words like forty-pound weights, true,
Cockroach laugh usischa,
And shine his boots.
And around the rabble Tonkosheyev leaders
He plays the services polulyudey.
Who whistles, who mewing, who whimpers,
He is one of only babachit and pokes,
As a shoe, forges a decree decree:
Who in the groin, someone in the forehead, eyebrow someone who in the eyes.
Whatever punishment he has - then raspberries
And broad chest Ossetians.
November 1933
