Anna Kamieńska: The Moment of Reconciliation

Take in your hand the gray wafer of day
for the moment of reconciliation has arrived

Let there be reconciled

apple with knife

tree with fire

day with night

laughter with sobbing

nothingness with body 

Let there be reconciled

loneliness with loneliness

-- Translated by Grazyna Drabik and DAvid Curzon
