Whether he had been born Poem by Alfred Brendel

Whether he had been born

Rating: 5.0


Whether he had been born
remained open to question
He himself did not recall the event
and one refrained
from trusting others
Perhaps he had existed
long before he noticed the fact
a cuckoo's egg
planted in his parents' nest
a botched demiurge
embroiled in his own life
unlaunched
and
who knows
unending
