Poems about blind musicians

Book: Joseph Brodsky. Poems and poems

The blind wander
at night.
Much easier at night
go through the square.

The blind live
to the touch,
touching the world with your hands,
not knowing light and shadow
and feeling the stones:
made of stone
walls.
Men live behind them.
Women.
Children.
Money.
therefore
indestructible
better get around
walls.
And the music is in them
will rest.
The music will be swallowed up by stones.
And the music
will die in them,
captured by hands.
It's bad to die at night.
It's bad to die
to the touch.

So it is easier for the blind ...
The blind man is walking
across the square.
