******
To me you were
neither arithmetic of love,
simple and pure,
nor algebra of feelings,
moved by factors such as boredom,
convenience or fear
elements of the granitic equations
Family and Future

In a life which is a continuous
division by zero
dominated by transforms
and curves gone mad over Cartesian axes,
behind which complicated functions -
better to say fictions -
raise themselves
as corrupt solvers
of every decision
to be had.

Only escaping from these equations
from conceited postulates
from Pythagorean infallibility
from the minus sign dictatorship
from words, periodic figures
from fear, logarithms
from illusion, complex numbers

It is going back to the abacus
that maybe I will have you
but now you are for me
a beautiful theorem
that only I am able to demonstrate
letting the chalk run
on a slate blackboard.
A columnade of numbers and operations
which spits in the face of the pretentious
exact science
all the explosive beauty
of the Slavic mathematics.
