They Shut Me Up In Prose — / Ei M-Au Inchis In Proza - Poem by Magdalena Biela

They shut me up in Prose —
As when a little Girl
They put me in the Closet —
Because they liked me ‘still' —

Still! Could themself have peeped -
And seen my Brain - go round -
They might as wise have lodged a Bird
For Treason - in the Pound -

Himself has but to will
And easy as a Star
Look down upon Captivity -
And laugh - No more have I -

EMILY DICKINSON
.........................................
Ei m-au inchis in Proza -

Ei m-au inchis in Proza -
Precum de mica fata
M-au pus intr-un Dulap -
Vrandu-ma ca "sa tac" -

Sa tac! De-ar fi zarit
Mintea mea - in miscare -
Ar fi-nteles ce-ar fi sa-nchizi
O Pasare - pentru Tradare -

Ea trebuie doar sa vrea
Si-usor precum o stea
Ar privi din 'naltime -
Si-ar rade - ca si mine -
