LONG LISTED FOR THE 2023 GRIFFIN POETRY AWARDS
However, when the first surprising moments passed
the servants left me alone and soon as I finished
my tailoring errands I raised my eyes and noticed
the great adventure I was meant to experience
(in due time) while I could freely roam the forests
at night property of the first lumber businessmen
of the city,
and there, avoiding the unfortunate coincidences
I met my small size aunt and the sadness of
our beloved son, cousin and nephew who’s early
death was over many concepts, but how could
they think that I, a simple mortal would resort
to such pleasantries?
Therefore I chanted with all my heart that they’d
wonder what I was about to do and after dinner
I sat by the entrance and rolled my kerchief
in my weak fingers; I never complained because
I knew deep inside that I was the mysterious
hagiographer of all the beautiful they’ll see
in the future and at least the somewhat unusual
brushstrokes of a common drunkard.
