IN MEMORY OF PEOPLE
CLOSE TO ME
and it seemed
they would last
forever
in that camomile
yard
in that warm house
in that safe bed
time blows them up
one after another
x x x
pamięci moich bliskich
a wydawało się
że zawsze będą
trwać
na tym rumiankowym
podwórku
w tym ciepłym domu
w tym bezpiecznym
łóżku
po kolei zdmuchuje
ich czas
A GOODNIGHT PHONE TALK
- Keep well...
- What am I to
keep?
- My love
Rozmowa telefoniczna
na dobranoc
- Trzymaj się!
- Czego?
- Mojej miłości
THE GALLERY WORLD
snow flakes
tree leaves:
none is to be
repeated
God is a
perfectional artist
Galeria ŚWIAT
płatki śniegu
liście drzew
- żaden się nie powtórzy
Bóg jest
perfekcyjnym artystą
