Heart of the Poet
«Mom, Mom!
What happened to the sky today?
So many stars have fallen!
Why has it happened?»
«It is because today, at midday,
one Poet’s heart has broken.
It was fragile, very vulnerable.
But people often deceived him,
they teased, taunted
and shouted at him,
and his heart broke
into a hundred splinters.
That is why stars are grieving.»
