Уточнить отношения.
Выпить яду.
Составить план на завтра.
На вечерней разминке
Пробежать на шестьсот метров
Больше, чем вчера.
Вернуться утомлённой.
Принять душ.
Не удержаться
И съесть три конфеты
С барбарисовым вкусом.
Попереписываться о важном
С чудным человеком,
Живущим у моря.
Послушать испанскую песенку
На стихи, переведённые
Этим поэтом.
Заснуть раньше, чем обычно.
Проснуться посреди ночи
И попытаться вспомнить,
Что снилось.
Проснуться утром
С желанием описать
Вчерашний вечер.
Про яд строчка лишняя была.
To clarify the relationship.
To drink poison.
To make plans for tomorrow.
To run six hundred meters
more than yesterday
for an evening warm-up.
To come back tired.
To take a shower.
To be unable to refrain
from eating three candies
with barberry flavor.
To chat about something important
with a wonderful man
living by the sea.
To listen to a Spanish song
based on poems translated
by this man.
To fall asleep earlier than usual.
To wake up in the middle of the night
and to try to remember
what you dreamed about.
To wake up in the morning
with a desire to describe
yesterday evening.
The line about poison was unnecessary.
Translated from Russian by Nina Kossman
