THE BENT AND THE BROKEN
The bent and the broken
And the mind-lost and the mad
...
I WALK AND WAIT FOR A POEM
I walk and wait for a poem
What else do I have but a poem?
...
A MAN ALONE IS ONLY HIS OWN DEATH
A man alone is only his own death
Who gives nothing to the generations to come
...
A POEM WITHOUT MUSIC OF ITS OWN IS NOT A POEM
A poem without music of its own is not a poem-
I have lost the rhythm of my soul
...
WALK WITHOUT A POEM
I walk without a poem-
...
DISTURBANCES ERRANDS DIFFICULTIES PAINS OF LIFE
Disturbances, errands, difficulties, pains of life
And no time no time no time -
...
MY SADNESS SLEEPS WITH ME
My sadness sleeps with me
It wakes with me
...
THE WRITING OF THE POEM /SEEMS
The writing of the poem
Seems to be more to me
...
THIS POEM LIKE MY LIFE/ CANNOT SAY WHAT IT TRULY MEANS
This poem like my life
Cannot say what it truly means-
...
ALL THIS PAIN AND ALL THIS ACCUSATION
All this pain and all this accusation
And all this condemnation
...
