Šefi kabinetis vastu kolmapäeva

ŠEFI KABINETIS VASTU KOLMAPÄEVA
klaverist ma hoidsin eemale
kaugemale garnituurist karahvinist telefonist
kuud ei olnud
oli
kuid ei paistnud
siis mind järsku selja tagant
rabas raske nahkne diivan
rebis jalad vaibast
haaras kaissu neelatas ja
üle pää lõi kokku
nüüdsest pääle iga kord end leian
tema mustast kõhust ümber
vedrud lollilt sirgu
aga mis see minu asi
mina ajan ennast püsti mina
kohe välja astun
seesam seesam seesamune
kuidas ta nüüd oligi
seesam seesam enam ei avane
keegi istus et vedrud
krägiseme

Sang’s poetry is inspired by language – his sarcastic and melodic writing knows language to its very core and enjoys that familiarity. He has also penned children’s poetry, song lyrics, and libretti. In addition, he has translated prose, poetry, plays, and essays into Estonian from Finnish, English, Russian, French, Swedish, and Italian (including writers such as Oscar Wilde, Allen Ginsberg, François Villon, Andrei Platonov, and Umberto Eco). Sang’s own writing has been translated into Finnish, French, German, Russian, English, Polish, and Ukrainian.
