Jenny Mastoraki: Poem

The Trojan Horse refused to comment
at the time, and when they pressed him,
insisted that he personally knew nothing
about the so-called massacre.
In any case, and speaking for himself,
he had always dined frugally
and as a colt
he had been respectably employed
on a merry-go-round.


Jenny (Iphigenia) Mastoraki is a Greek poet who is bilingual enough to translate and write her own poetry into/in English. This one I think was written in English originally.
