No. 21

noisless rain from somewhere the smell of russet leaves

bezdźwięczny deszcz skądś zapach rdzawych liści

yellowing maple

sprouting in its shade

the family story

pożółkły klon

w jego cieniu kiełkuje
rodzinna historia

Papierowy Żuraw 2024

winter fog
the streak of horizon
barely scratched

zimowa mgła

kreska horyzontu

ledwo maźnięta

sunny morning

the fisherman rubs his hands
at the ice hole

słoneczny ranek

wędkarz zaciera ręce
nad przeręblem

autumn dawn

dives in gold
a flock of seagulls

jesienny świt

nurkuje w złocie

stado mew

morning heat
a cat stretches
on the edge of the shadow

upalny ranek

kot rozciąga się

na krawędzi cienia
