AGNIESZKA JARZEBOWSKA

***

you need time

to be a good parent

you need time

to be a good wife

you need to find the time

to be yourself

***

I will wait a thousand years

and I will live

in a different world

without unnecessary cults

and I will love

against cold walls

against cold people

I’ll derive the warmth

from flowers

I will wait through a thousand years

of human hate

***

there are three crows standing

ruffling feathers

they haven’t even opened their beaks yet

but one already knows

that they will squawk

like people

***

from the plates

of strangers

even delicious

dishes

don’t taste like

those flavored

with a bit of home
