Des Milliers.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker
Des Milliers.(Translation) .
Sur les milliers
qui sont connus,
ou qui veulent etre connus
comme poetes,
un ou deux peut-etre
sont sinceres
et les autres sont des imposteurs,
hantant les enceintes sacrees
en essayant de se ressembler au vrai.
Inutile de dire
Je suis un des imposteurs,
et ceci est mon histoire.

Modestly, he considers himself a fake and the book of poems is his story.
