Собака [Sobaka] [English translation]

I saw a dog

She had ears

And big eyes

And a little chain around her neck

And a stubby tail

Sticking out of her bottom

Was something very similar

To hopelessness

And she didn’t even bark

She laughed softly instead

And I broke out laughing

And then suddenly cried

And the dog let out a howl

All sickly and horrifying

And then I curled up next to her

And the dog died

And hopelessness even stopped

Sticking out of her bottom
