  • Accordionist, by Hungarian photographer André Kertész
 
The accordionist is a blind intellectualcarrying an enormous typewriter whose keysgrow wings as the instrument expands into a tallhorizontal hat that collapses with a tubercular wheeze.
My century is a sad one of collapses.The concertina of the chest, the tubular bellsof the high houses, the flattened ellipsesof our skulls that open like petals.We are the poppies sprinkled along the field.We are simple crosses dotted with blood.Beware the sentiments concealedin this short rhyme. Be wise. Be good.

    Accordionist, by Hungarian photographer André Kertész

    The accordionist is a blind intellectual
    carrying an enormous typewriter whose keys
    grow wings as the instrument expands into a tall
    horizontal hat that collapses with a tubercular wheeze.

    My century is a sad one of collapses.
    The concertina of the chest, the tubular bells
    of the high houses, the flattened ellipses
    of our skulls that open like petals.

    We are the poppies sprinkled along the field.
    We are simple crosses dotted with blood.
    Beware the sentiments concealed
    in this short rhyme. Be wise. Be good.

    — “Accordionist” by Hungarian poet George Szirtes
