In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone's existence in this world.

Wisława Szymborska

My siblings died the day I left for dry land
and only one small bone recalls that anniversary in me.

Wisława Szymborska

You were saved because you were the first.
You were saved because you were the last.
Alone. With others.
On the right. On the left.
Because it was raining. Because of the shade.
Because the day was sunny.

Wisława Szymborska

No day copies yesterday, no two nights will teach what bliss is in precisely the same way, with precisely the same kisses.
