Jürgen Rooste Poems

i'm a singing skeleton
i'm the ghastly-ghostly
master of the full-moon night
...

will you love me until the edge of eternity
and after
we have passed the edge of eternity and have
moved on for a few hours
...

Downtown Tallinn is beautiful. Over there, by Estonia Theater and the
old bank (where independence was proclaimed) and the secondary school.
Just one shopping center stretches like a bomb crater across the road.
...

Love is like the Higgs boson.
Many believe it exists.
There are some, who claim they have
seen or measured it.
...

I sit at my
dreary desk
not even god
talks to me any more
...

in the end, we're all
street-corner musicians
some just have a bigger hat
maybe a bigger heart, too
...

do you want to know
why Estonians are special
do you want me to tell you
they live their entire lives
...

When Darwin looked at the Moon
and saw and knew
just what we see
and know
...

at work
they want me to be
a duracell rabbit
...

the brilliant dull poet
enters the room

the chamber is brimming with tension
...
