Not All Of Me Shall Perish!

Владимир Демыкин
When to the Park
                I came
  My Grave to dig,
 ‘T was so dark
            I didn’t care a Fig
As to Someone
            by chance
 pass by
         and spy
The way
        I lay
 my dear Self
          to dy.

The Morn
         was Bleak;
 the Moon
          lit through the Mist;
My Will was Weak,
         and yet
             it did insist
 and bid me
          dig
         non-stop, 
And so I did,
    Until
 with much
           hip-hop
I plunged
          and hid.

Then came
     the Mighty Death
   and waived his Hand;
In Vain
        I wriggled in Wreth:
   That  WAS  the End.
The Soil 
         refilled 
                the Grave  -
          and at the Time 
My Life
        was killed  -
  save 
       my Sweet Style
             Sublime!
