LUCYNA

SIEMIŃSKA

REMEMBER

to pray for me

he said quietly and he came out quietly

leaving the door opened wide behind him

and her

suddenly growing sad

on a doorstep

she did not understand

why he chose that tree in the wood

and why he would not carve a puppet clown for her

A SYNDROME OF ENSLAVEMENT

a plane from Leeds that one at 17.25

once more arrived without you

with the only empty seat at the window

near the left wing

between sky and earth

your ticket dissolved into thin clouds

just as hope for the happy end

begged for a handful of copper coins

on a swing once up once down and a turnover

the most important is not to fall out of the orbit

not to go off as a supernova

and then not to change to an eternal dwarf star

your flights are of different dimension

marked a white dose line

from here back to here

PRIVATE LESSONS

live

teaches us saving

so splendid

being all tight up

with a special care

about the ends

as not to knot

not to scramble

not to blab

to tie activity

with interaction

in silence

ISOLATION

I am building a wall

a high one

a wall of bricks

with no windows and no doors

even if you knock

I will not hear your knocking

if you call me

I will not answer

everything I want now

is a piece of blue sky

maybe just today

and maybe without you

UNDER THE SKY NOT ALWAYS SUNNY

keep falling rain keep falling

on my head on my shoulders

I do not care about the woolen headscarf

I do not care about tears diluted

softened watered down

let them flow with you rain

flow down my face and shivery lips whispering

flow down an adjuration for fulfilment and not fulfilment

keep falling rain keep falling

keep falling
