FULL TEXT:
come, let us tame Tartu
streets full flowing with its freedom
great marshland of Mother river
human-swamp, spring-sun heated
come, let us know Tartu
Luunja’s greenhouse gases glowing calmly
come, let us love Raadi,
where in the past planes nestled with nuclear charges
come, let us tame Tartu
its wild desire for high-rises,
please, tame this Tartu
its skyscraping house prices, sheer and glass sided
listen Tartu
you can raise all the windows the sky can stomach
suspiciously whiffy elevators still washed clean by
Mammaste Maimu and Melliste Triinu
paint kept pristine by Võru Valdur - in his pocket
a green apple from his orchard
a fat worm squirming one bite inside
and after work, over Kassitoome
Tartu, Tartu, we will get wasted
drink coins, shoot the change;
from the ink on our payslips
to the stars constellations tonight,
Tartu will drink itself sated in space
it’s only
SÕIDA TASA ÜLE SILLA - Tartu
a short run gently across the bridge
Tartu, you piston-legged marathon-maniac
cool down: downriver
consider every shivering priority in the Värska sanatorium
from the bus station’s gritty pavilion,
outsiders slip in to the city:
country folk with fingernails filthy like me
like you remember Tartu, no side-eyes from your camp
your past as a bumpkin too stark, too recent
Tartu
remember when millions were spent on your branding?
Võrumaa is still at your ankles
the ancient grey glacial rock: icon, brand ambassador! dropped!
raised then praised, then mocked
and with the rocks descent we are kept from
the higher leagues of city where we can be
anonymous in central square cafes
Ah me! Poor Tartu town
Why can’t the songs of this earth rise up
to heaven, or at least Rainbows FM
Tartu you are Elina Nechayeva’s Eurovision gown
shining in the spotlight, trapped
Tartu
when there is a fault in the machine
you will be on scene, whatever is needed
even if it means a wrench in the wider works of your country
Tartu
here we wake early, emerging for the sun on our faces
to learn every name we give to light as it illuminates its landscapes
see Tartu,
see for yourself
all these weirdos have filled the hall
they have come to listen to poetry
Tartu
here, I check the lottery’s numbers,
pray for luck, study, pass my exams
I will train the melancholy Arno Tali
in the martial art of optimism yet
as city of culture
let us lift our tails,
blow trumpets from the city’s walls and rooves
come, never tame Tartu
wildly itself
