inspired by "A Poem About Love" by H. Poświatowska (excerpt)

noc jak ściana
za nimi
wszechświat z obojętnymi
oczyma gwiazd
i tylko oni - samotni
w odrapanym oknie
ziemskiej ulicy

---
night like a wall
behind them
the universe with indifferent
stars for eyes
and only these two -alone
in a shabby window
of an earthly street
