Dwukropek

Twenty-seven poems return to a few mysteries without grand words. Questions about what A. thought, whether B. forgave, what H. had to hide, can never be answered. If her mother had married someone else, the speaker would not exist. Another, invisible world is sensed behind daily trifles. Old age appears not as complaint but as a quiet privilege: an old professor, forbidden coffee and heavy memories, pretends not to hear. One poem gives the monologue of a dog entangled in history.
