Poem Commentary

title is french : The Red Fairy

La Faye Rouge

Stolen away in your silver box

You’ve seared her wings

Broken her bones

Chained, never to see her ethereal plane

You saw to that

 

You’ve pulverized her ankles

You horish brute!

With your whip you cleave flesh from bone

You have branded your mark upon her face

You’ve engraved poems upon her flesh

Of love and lust

 

You let her loose

To drag her back inside

Back inside that poison box

The box that binds and burns her!

 

 

 

 

Fairy funerals are few indeed.

When you have crushed her elfish life

You junk it

And buy another shiny box

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
