Who decides what is to remembered
And what is to be forgotten?
Who distinguishes the significant
From the insignificant?
Who authorises history
And sanctions reality?
Who says what is true or untrue?
Here there is no history,
Only histories,
Words one writes
Without needless hope,
Fruitful misunderstandings.
Have you confused your memories
With knowledge?
In the court of Europe
Another speech is being made,
Another prosecution
And defence.
East and West
Are not exactly where you expect
To find them;
But everywhere,
Everywhere.
