POETRY IS ON THE MARGINS
On television yesterdayRock
Tens of thousands in the audience
And where is poetry?
On the margins,
More and more
In a small hall
In Jerusalem
A few friends gather
Hardly more than a few
Poetry is on the margins
Of the margins
And I
Am on the margins of poetry
A matter of one
Or two
Sometimes
I myself am two
And even then there are no cheers
or applause
