Anna Maria Mickiewicz’s two poems

Why?


I love autumn

Leaves covered

All sinners

Stripped liars

Covered by the shade of an early sunset

I should not?

in the shadow of forty hall


in the shade of an old tree

thoughts run smoothly

the platonic soul opens spaces


and the wind with the ocean breeze

strokes the air tenderly

the sluggish sun treads on the waves of the stream


time collects the harvest of passing by seconds
