Poems about Poetry

In Between the Strophes

by Marcin Malek

I’ll never be a king of the brave

The vain poet – I lied, forgive me if you care

I went calmly through all the stages of madness

The last it’s the tongue on a stranger face

And believe that man can turn in to a bird

To look at people and things

Without the need of rising the gaze

What a disruptive and ugly input

– Acquired romanticism

To have eyes placed on occiput

And after all, to see against the stiff neck

How veils of the wild cranes are waving

Across the sunset fires and dense shades

I’ll never be a king of the brave

Timorous rhymer – I laughed, who cares

That I went through all the stages of foolishness

The last it’s the thought that anyone chased

Man, dog or a worm

Will find an asylum

Somewhere in between the strophes
