ANNA CZACHOROWSKA

 

On the Way

 

To Krystyna Czubówna

 

After

a strong dose of

heart-soothing words

 

After the deep blows of

sensitization

it was a long way

Sometimes helter-skelter, the wrong

way...

With your

 

grace

you brought out at night

the amazed car

onto an almost

straight motorway

avoiding the purgatory

You lead luckily

 

to the gate

of my Heaven

 

 

The Warsaw Nikifor

 

To Mark Krauss

Before he takes

a brush in his hand

 

the colours are locked away in the dreams

 

It only takes one step into the blue

and his world awakens

 

A world of shabby backyards

all of them in the colours of the rainbow...

 

Warsaw workshops and laundries

People spellbound by clocks

 

When you do not know

where you go

your life’s charm has faded

 

The Warsaw Nikifor will give off a spark

in the glint of the sun

he will clothe your face

To Igor Mitoraj

 

Tender touch

of the master’s hand

breathed life

into the marble stone

 

Before

The Moonlight*

undresses

from its musings...

 

Will come

with an outstretched wing

the longed for

Restored World
