Феллини [Fellini] [English translation]

In one of the unfilmed films

Of Federico Fellini:

On a very thin ice floe

In a glass of martini

The hero is lying upon the heroine

The heroine is on heroin1

And a double solid road mark

Run between them

Between them

A second ago it has hot,

And now between them

It snows in the Kilimanjaro2

Cartridges in the store,

With eyes on Visine3

And the poisoned air

Is swallowed greedily

In vain you think about death

I want to find a letter in an empty envelope

And recite it to you

In one of Federico Fellini's unfilmed films:

The snow lays in the Kilimanjaro

The hero is lying upon the heroine

The heroine is on heroin

And the poisoned air

Is swallowed greedily
