The Heart of the Earth is on Fire

Written by Leokadia Komaisko

Translated from the Polish by the Poet

Narrated by Bill Wolak

Poland

Evening by the fireplace . . .

The heart of the Earth is on fire.

Willing to go to worlds

better. And here is time

with no entry.

Scooter and swing.

On the one hand, nothing.

And on the other—everything.

Evening. Fire. Heart. Mother.
