Art is my love and universe And time from time black squares
My friend will never be confused
About goals, I chase.
I’d rather spend my cash on booze
Then in a doctor’s place.
Art is my love and universe
Gives birth sometimes like a mare,
When you expect immortal verse
And having a Black Square.
The innovator’s always wild, -
Don’t think he is a jerk.
And when the art sets free a child, -
It’s like Malevich’s work.
Yet a search of new dimensions
Works like the inner crisis, -
And you don’t answer questions,
Just shuffle prejudices.
And art has a puzzling drive.
The biggest task you face -
It’s not to find a place in life,
But how to have this place?
¹Malevich – Russian artist, author of the “Black Square” - a reflection of the emptiness and senseless of the Universe
About this poem
My friend will never be confused About goals, I chase. I’d rather spend my cash on booze Then in a doctor’s place. Art is my love and universe Gives birth sometimes like a mare, When you expect immortal verse And having a Black Square. The innovator’s always wild, - Don’t think he is a jerk. And when the art sets free a child, - It’s like Malevich’s work. Yet a search of new dimensions Works like the inner crisis, - And you don’t answer questions, Just shuffle prejudices. And art has a puzzling drive. The biggest task you face - It’s not to find a place in life, But how to have this place? more »
