"Thank you for writing to me in Polish.
I have a feeling you'll visit the land of your ancestors again.
Spring and summer are the most beautiful here,
especially in Krakow, but there's also Zamość, Lublin, and Łódź.
I think I understand what you meant with your words.
Materiality holds us together,
and spirit spreads across time and space.
How can we reconcile this?
Allow yourself to be rooted in culture and language
while soaring high in your thoughts.
I wish you and your loved ones all the best.
*Peace, health, and fulfillment in your words
and in your lives*"
Best regards,
Agnieszka

early morn (5:00am) scanning, scrolling,
unrehearsed searching and the question
appears in a “loves that got away” column,
*(why do all these descriptors start eith S,
I think I know!)*
and off on another self-effacing, investigative determination, a mental biopsy of another hopeless cause,
that results in poems too long
though the body and mind are rested,
with six hours of uninterrupted sleep,
and volumes of dreams,
the quest bags a burr in the bed,
(yes, rhymes with head)
but n o t h i n g pops in with a grin,
and a bell ring, stating presumptuously,
why that’s me
and the fault failure fear
in me
engorges
this really distresses,
with & in a deep sense of awful,
how can I not recall this momentous
illustrative precious precision
proof of why life is worth living,
and worser still,
don’t I get to choose,
isn't this an interrogatory,
suitable for a pre-provided
Multiple Choice Answer?
a pause to collect myself from a
falling into a hole of nefarious negativity spiraling,
*suddenly
recalling so many
kind and gentle touching brushes
of your comments re my poetry,
which provoked warm tears*
^***and one more tine,
poetry has saved
a life***^

The loneliest people are the kindest, The saddest people smile the brightest, the most damaged people are the weirdest... all because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the same as they did.
