Every night
I collect from my neighbours
All the chairs I can findAnd read poems to them.
The chairs are highly receptive
To poetry
If you know how to place them.
Which is why
I get really emotional
And for hours on end
I tell them the story
of how beautifully my soul died
during the day.
Our meetings
Are usually solemn
No needless
Enthusiasm.
In any case
It means that each of us
Has done their duty.
And we can
go our separate ways.
Marin Sorescu (translation mine)
