Someone embraces me <br />Someone looks at me with the eyes of a wolf <br />Someone takes off his hat <br />So I can see him better <br /> <br />Everyone asks me <br />Do you know how I'm related to you <br /> <br />Unknown old men and women <br />Appropriate the names <br />Of young men and women from my memory <br /> <br />I ask one of them <br />Tell me for God's sake <br />Is George the Wolf still living <br /> <br />That's me he answers <br />With a voice from the next world <br /> <br />I touch his cheek with my hand <br />And beg him with my eyes <br />To tell me if I'm living too<br /><br />Vasko Popa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-village-of-my-ancestors/
