Spring 1981
Wrocław cornered her
she was surrounded
by air blue from exhaust fumes that she could not breathe
she read Jastrun’s „The Beautiful Disease”
the earth was slipping away from under her feet the bridges over the Odra River were bending mirrors were terrifying
it was exactly forty-eight tablets
she woke up after three days empty anesthetized calm
she started a new life
twenty years later she found out
that Wojaczek had been reading „The Beautiful Disease” before his death
***
sometimes God tests my patience
and sometimes I test His
