KATARZYNA DOMINIK

 

HE IS…

He is, even though 

we missed each other 

on Golgotha under the cross.

He is, because He tinkers

with neurotransmitters

on the body-soul line.

He is, because I hear laughter,

when I fall dead,

thinking, how it is possible

a dead pupil can see.

He exists even if only

in a crippled mind.

He is, because when I fall

He wipes the mud from my face.

In itself: Beauty

Along the intricate paths of life

it blooms like catkins in spring

scented with starlight.

Where time freezes in silence,

it becomes a spark in the gaze,

the mystery of the candlesticks of the night.

It lies in unimportant things,

in the heart, in the soul, in words

in the sun's smile, in the rain's tears,

in the rustle of leaves and the quiet breeze.

Is an ocean of pure love,

that burns in the darkness

bringing hope for the dawn.

Called To Be A Woman 

She carries on her shoulders

the life she clung to,

his difficult love,

their unruly childhood,

house, reptile ritual.

Extinguishes the moon with silence,

hangs around the sun's neck.

When she leaves, it's never forever.

Always, she comes home.
