Russian term or phrase: Дикий восторг под знаком “Пи”
На жертвенном камне , молитва звучит
как пароль
Предвещая свободу , но это ничто для небес
Никакой срок давности здесь не сыграет роли
И не понятно , стоит ли ставить крест
на завтрашнем дне

Дикий восторг под знаком “Пи”
идти маршрутом Колумба
И чувствовать пусльс , то рождается мысль
или просто впасть в сладкий транс
Власть “ чёрной дыры “, её магнетизм
эфект холодного дула
Вспотевший висок , это теплится жизнь
и значит есть ещё шанс

wild rapture under the Pi sign


Explanation:
Кажется намекается на соотношение между прямой и кругом (окружностью и ее диаметром), являющимися символами рационального и иррационального начал в душе поэта.
Для примера вспомните: "Я с детства угол рисовал, я с детства презирал овал".

Frenzied ecstasy equaling Pi


Explanation:
Not very literal - but if we're talking about uncertainty, then "equaling" would work, especially since it's a math term like Pi. And if we're talking about religion, both the term "frenzy" and "ecstasy" are ideal because they are often used to describe intense emotional religious feeling...
