As many asked me where they can find some of my poems in English, here again: litero-mania.com/author/marco/ Brodsky sang a song, published in the issue N° 106:

Brodsky sang a song

Marco Grosse

Brodsky sang a song
-it’s what you thought
when you heard his
voice recorded on an
old record spinning
him around

you just came into the room
while the trembling high frequency
of the never landing nasal voice
was meant to keep the importance
right up, in the air

Still you didn’t laugh
because you knew it was
a voice of the past
and his words were
keeping in touch
with us.
