Maria Dorota Pieńkowska: past Museum

History Museum

The originals are shown here
There are no replicas here.
It's a museum of history.
Here lie the people undressed to the bone
overshadowed by merciful fizeline kirem
because of those highly sensitive
What's not between us today
One decision and a nude exhibit shines
skeletons of animals and humans equalized like everything else
by a just conviction of the time of infidelity
male and female buried centuries ago
mined from the dust of the earth, purified
These are already things – these are artifacts
spent on the spoil of watchful gaze
us – skeletons inactive clothed in the body
"Standing quietly between the cabinets"
searchers for sterile cognition – hard disk
esatzu immortality
