Free row: MÓGŁBY – Robert Rutkowski

MOTHER

I know what you're thinking:

A grown man,

Fifty on the back,

He writes poems.

But he could

To do so many another useful things

and inactive be the same

I'm disappointed.

Free row is the space of Liberté!, taking into account important, most progressive and dynamic changes in Polish poesy of fresh years. Poems will respond to current events, but besides avoid them erstwhile times require political silence and passions are not a good advisor to explanation of reality.
