***[Mäletan sind kuskil tühjal rannal]

MÄLETAN SIND KUSKIL TÜHJAL RANNAL
lesisime vaalad kuumal liival
olid pimestavalt sinine ja sile
palavusest pöörane ja pime
haaran sind ja
ainult liiva taban
aga juba leiangi su kätte
sukeldusid rohelisse vette
adru sees seal hõljud mööda kive
oled soolane ja külm ja libe
lebad põhjas minu käte vahel
aga mul jääb järsku puudu õhust
tõusen pinnale ja sina lähed
korraks virvendamas näen sind taevarannal
lendled ära otse üle mere

niisiis mäletan sind tühjal rannal
olid pimestavalt noor ja hele
öösel lohutasid mind su leebed rinnad
ei see oli hoopis niiske sammal

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.
