Grey Jacket

by Marcin Malek

And when he died
I put his jacket on

It wasn’t nice nor trendy
but with all measures I could not give it up

Oh, if I may grant it to a stranger
still - sun will dance above the sky

However it would be a certain crime
or rather evidence, lets say: clear sign

That son with a compelling love
took over the heart of fortune

not over his unfortunate dad

For life and death of a poet
