Wilki

Wild clematis and self-sown birches cover the empty place where a farm stood, along with the jasmine planted in Prussia when someone close died. Elsewhere, far away, potatoes and heavy apple orchards had to be left behind. The poems return to a dark, unpredictable time when homes were held only for a while and wardrobes carried out. The migrations of cranes and wild geese echo the human movement on the ground: marching armies, deportations, resettlements. Hungry wolves come up to the house. Nature fascinates and frightens, and forgotten voices and memory come back to life.
