On Wednesday
In the garden
I watered cabbage then
On Thursday
Along with my sister
I was in the forest
Friday
Was a movie night
With Steve, my bud.
Eight
Once lived a family:
Brother, sister
Granddad, grandma,
Dasha, Mary
Misha, Gregor
Count on your fingers –
Eight, of course!
Nine
Nine big heads
Nine narrow horns
Nine bandy legs
Nine splayed hands
Powerful and huge beast
Slowly moving forward
See! It’s coming to us,
Let’s call the hero Nyurgun
He’ll capture it and lock away
Hooray!

About names
(fragment)
In the whole world
Everything has names!
A knife, an axe, an atlas
