The Heart of the Earth is on Fire
Written by Leokadia Komaisko

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.
