Betim Muco Poems
It’s simple
Life is reborn every day
Don’t bother with vain reasoning
Don’t stumble into blind alleys of thought
...
For Sagita
Have you asked yourself
If you had the wind
As a good companion
...
It takes a mountain and a cloud
To make a thunderbolt
It takes the earth and sky
To make a storm
...
Don't think I've stopped loving you
It's not true
My days are sparks from the fire
Started in my life by you
...
I took down the old oak tree
In my backyard
No more complaints
About fallen leaves and branches
...
Sometimes it seems that the rain
Understands you better
Than your friends
...
One can't be a man
Without having strange desires
To sleep in a mother-of-pearl shell
At the bottom of the sea
...
You should know
I’m not who I am
The one who you see living an everyday life
Being paid for the job he’s doing
...
If on this planet
The secret of life had never been born
If evolution hadn't yielded humanity
If the Trojans had refused to accept
...
The Best Poem Of Betim Muco
Wild Horses
It’s simple
Life is reborn every day
Don’t bother with vain reasoning
Don’t stumble into blind alleys of thought
Life revives every day
You must know that
It clatters in front of you
Like a herd of wild horses
Pick a horse
Grab his mane and hop on his back
All of them are headed the same way
The important thing is the road taking you there
Show the horse who’s the boss
Dig your heels into his ribs
You’re riding through sunny thickets
Over fields where the grass grows sweetly
And the shadows are softer than women’s flanks
Learn your horse’s vices
Teach him your own
If he happens to be vicious and throws you off
Don’t worry
Jump up on another horse
Plenty of to choose from
The herd is endless
There’ll always be one for you
Life is reborn every day
Do you know that?

Betim Muco just passed away on January 15th (2016) and the sad news of his passing led me to this site. I have read him in Albanian, where his true talent unfolds in full colors. Such is the verse; it doesn't have the fate of music that crosses borders without the need of translation. Nonetheless, a careful read in English will also show the great mind and talent behind them. Personally, I know him as a novelist. Upon reading his novel EQUINOXES (1990) I came to find a true voice of his generation (the generation of socialist system in Albania and of what became of the country after its collapse) , the skilled writer who knows how to dissect and examine the reality he is part of, the people who live and breath, who love and hurt, who - after all - find meaning in the grand scale even in the most restricted circumstances. Read Betim Muco; you will find a writer and poet of the daily human experience, of your experience, that, howeve, is done with such a taste, skill and simplicity that you would want to return to his writing again and again. Farewell good man!
