Sandomierz
Women with fashionable handbags,
stumbling over uneven
cobblestone baby.
First bees striking
on the heads of passers-by.
Centuries of similar expectations
in the royal city.
Everyone is awaiting the same
and in the same way
won't even realize it has come.
In the medieval city, it's livelier
to go into darkness.
And I still want to
take you by the hand -
I feel much lighter then.
You won't let me move
to the other side
too soon.
