History Has Frozen Over Poem by Fatos Arapi

History Has Frozen Over



History has frozen over,
It marches and moves not from the spot

The head of the metaphor,
- long-haired with lambkin eyes -
Observes us
From the broken point
Of the rusty sword.

History has frozen over,
It marches and moves not from the spot

(1979)
