MARIA DUSZKA

MARIA DUSZKA

x x x
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
