Befallen Life
For some of us,
Life befell
behind the barbed wire.
There, Numbers were born
- worked,
- died,
and death?
often visited not only
in bath.
Everyone
wearing
striped, dirty suits
could have befallen -
Life.
Box Iron
For professor Bogumiła Rouba
In the illusory space of life
box iron
would not give up the ghost
not even slowly.
Only emaciated arm
was getting cold on an empty table.
On both sides of the wall
telepathy connected
ashes and life.
Remember child
you were born a human,
but once there was a war,
on which new foundations were laid.
Shelter
In memory of my Grandfather
Underneath his hat
there was no fairy tales,
that's where the memories were fading away.
He didn't want to look back,
but could not obliterate the recollection!
His shelter was in the attic -
dangerous place -
the burrow of life and death.
Before he forgot -
He bequeathed it to the grandchildren.
