Tasty morning
only thing on stove
beautiful days
behind velvet drapes
to get you through
the day begins
with a cracked egg
a beautiful face
the fish market call
one waits to be bundled
and breaths vapourise
Polish mornings
radiated girl sips
the coffee brews
and the guest sits.

Don't run away
from dazed day  breaks
resist foreign calls
the only thing to see
you through fresh bread
friendships at the edge
of what touch
words from cognac glasses
click
in Polish bistros
new generations drink
from old glasses
the feelings you get
east euro evenings.

Escape simple pleasures?
Drinks for words
kind familiar light
an eastern release
generations drink through
a western touch
a Hollywood favorite
a local fan story
life goes on
night and day...
can't find out why resist
life goes on the same
cognac glasses,
smell of rye bread
simple chopped liver life
the way it is
mornings and evenings
sonata continues
on cloth streets
herring bone tables.

don't go from all this
my beautiful face
it will all come back
the chopped liver, herring
rye bread
newspaper spreads
will wait for bundles
slap you on the back
on vaporized morns
and coal filled tales...
Polish border town nights..
with blond highlights.

While my reply is absolutely
irrelevant to your poem, the gist
of your writing brought me back
to one of my favorite stories of
Dr. Zhivago...

and henceforth, will be of the poems
for me to come back to, to admire,
emulate, and aspire to.
