A false stencil

You’re drawing me with a false stencil, –
My life can’t be fit in a single portrait.
The poet’s fate is not worthy of envy:
His losses are more significant than his victories;

His path is marked by the ashes of fires,
by the exceeded pain threshold, by burning;
he is awaited by the mourning of the silent sidewalks
along the roads leading toward his crucifixion...
