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 ** https://lavaluule.ee/   / tarslammpoetryslam     / tarslamm     / tallinnaslammikollektiiv   ‪@Tartu2024‬ ‪@silverseppmuusika‬
