For years I could not accept the place I was in. I felt I should be somewhere else.

You Who Wronged

by Czeslaw Milosz

You who wronged a simple man Bursting into laughter at the crime, And kept a pack of fools around you To mix good and evil, to blur the line,

Though everyone bowed down before you, Saying virtue and wisdom lit your way, Striking gold medals in your honor, Glad to have survived another day,

Do not feel safe. The poet remembers. You can kill one, but another is born. The words are written down, the deed, the date.

And you’d have done better with a winter dawn, A rope, and a branch bowed beneath your weight.

Encounter

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn. A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road. One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive, Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

O my love, where are they, where are they going The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles. I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

-- Czeslaw Milosz, Wilno, 1936
