A path to the Sea - Krzeslawa Skrzypczynska

Gadgets

I love those our gadgets

color ones,

although alike;

pillows, patchworks for sleeping,

even those mute ones

two glass roses, donated,

identical accidentally,

those of our ancestors,

who look down from above,

lamps, flashlights, and countless

of numerous things,

these dotted CDs

what I like the most

because of their rebellion,

little son's pictures

and my reflection corner,

which big

and yet too small,

solid but even too much,

on the background of palm trees

in the flour of golden sand

and of this water, enveloping him with foam.

On the horizon, separated by a strong line

the temporality

and not,

there is a small picture hanging

of grandparents

and the plate is no longer golden

and similar in color to palm trees.

Right in the corner, on the left

I have a path to the sea, full of twigs

and of palm friends.

I rarely look 

in that direction.
