In poems such as “The Wind’s Statue,” we find another irony: the violence was aimed at the poet, as he stands for all who require freedom of expression. Yet the voices of the people survived in him, while the people themselves were murdered. The victory is evident in the fact that, despite their deaths, they were not silenced, and that is because one survivor with a voice and a gift was not afraid. Many more after me will sing praises of Mujë Buçpapaj’s great work. The Invisible Victory is a gorgeous, timeless victory.
THE INVISIBLE VICTORY
Field of solitude remaining
Ripe corn
Sprouting from children’s hands
Sun falling in marsh
Writing in vapour
Blowing wind
The girl giving in
In tall grass
Shrouded only by shadow
Love coming
From begging
Unspoken victories
Do not exist
But Harvesting
Is in forgetting waters
Life
Not enough
For Men
For Men
To do good
