Jeden

The poems are arranged as a single story. A man who keeps closing chapters of his life and starting over meets a woman, and he writes about her with the delight of a teenager: a girl with Venus on her brow, a blue sun on a Sunday, a getaway from Gotham with a cat woman, all in capital letters and exclamation marks he seldom uses. Irony, much of it aimed at himself, never leaves the enthusiasm alone. Other stories run beside the romance. Death waits in the background throughout, fear stays at the speaker's side, and God watches human affairs without much interest. A recurring Pinocchio might be a plaything in God's hands, a habitual liar or simply a friend, and the sequence gathers meanings as it goes on.
