Lito dohnyvalo v bur’yanach
Dumky linyvo rylys' u smitti
Pochmillya plazuvalo
po rozzarenych dachach
Chovayuchys' u nutroshchi
schodovych klityn

Kolychavsya chvylyamy maydan
Zvalyshchamy stelyuchys' do nih
Zatysnuti miz rebramy
rzaviyuchych parkaniv
Lopalys' sudyny
rozbuchayuchych dorih

Dychannya spitniloyi zahty
Po kutkach zadushlyvych osel
Prystrastni obiymy
nerozryvnych lancyuhiv
U kryvomu dzerkali
zaplovanoyi steli

Horyt' smerdyuchym vohnyshchem v dushi
Stare hanchir’ya vmerlych pochuttiv
Zahlushaye hurkit
rozdratovanych mashyn
Klacannya lichylnyka
u vtomleniy pechinci
