Anna Kamieńska

1920–1986

I Don’t Know How a Day Flew By Us

I don’t know how a day flew by us

I don’t know how life flew by us

and closed with a word

like a lake with ice

winter passed snows melted

the suns appeared and saw

after the winter

that scar on the earth

your grave

Translated from the Polish by David Curzon and Grazyna Drabik.
