Christmas
written by: Bozena Helena Mazur-Nowak
beautiful spruce at neighbor’s window
so proud and foster in hundred lanterns
they say that the family will arrive in droves
worry whether enough space for them
and here is so quiet, so quiet
I read the yellowed letters pages
covered with a patina of time
turkey is lazily walking in the garden
and asks for survival
children are looking off frames on the walls
such small and joyful
trembling hands clinging memories to the heart
a wafer is crying on the plate
