Who Is a Poet

a poet is one who writes verses
and one who does not write verses
a poet is one who throws off fetters
and one who puts fetters on himself
a poet is one who believes
and one who cannot bring himself to believe
a poet is one who has told lies
and one who has been told lies
one who has been inclined to fall
and one who raises himself
a poet is one who tries to leave
and one who cannot leave
Translated by Magnus J. Krynski, Robert A. Maguire This poem appeared in The Vintage Book of Contemporary World Poetry by J.D. McClatchy, published by Vintage Books, 1996.
