Cała w piachu

The world here is seen from a few dozen centimetres off the ground and ends at the swing, the little bicycle and the sandbox. The poet walks with his three-year-old daughter and explains the world to her in her own words: tadpoles buried in a hole, an anthill under tar, a dead ladybird covered with sand. Behind the childish discoveries hides the last one, of dying, and the poems end by asking whether an invisible boot will spare the father when his turn comes.
