The death of young Don Quixote
(Vdekja e Don Kishotit të ri)

Literature tells us:
Don Quixote, having read books,
Rushed out of his library
And entered his own life.

His endless adventures
Belong to literature, to the sublime,
Not to life.

Don Quixote has a house full of books
The biggest one in this town.
He has a stentorian voice:
He talks all the time, without ever hearing
The truth!

And the books on the shelves
Bite their tongues
And are silent.

Exhausted by their own weight
They break the shelves
And fall onto the head of young Don Quixote,
Burying and suffocating him.

The obituary in the newspaper read:
'He died at his desk.'
