Warsaw

the Poles busted earth
pioneer style, all hardscrabble
and at the
end of the day's labors,
they prayed at the white box
outside of Warsaw,
it was their solace

could be a sad scene in a movie about slave laborers. at least this white box keeps them going.

It reminds me of the Pianist, 2002, beautiful movie...
and also of a very sad periode, before I was born.

The words used here let the reader bring so much of their own judgement with them that I can only imagine what different interpretations could result.

For me, mental images of hard dark dirt and a holy white box collided. It feels as if some essential truth has been found about a whole group of people.

Thank you. This piece is about a place I went to once upon a time, the smallest consecrated church I had ever seen. It's located outside a small town in my home state.
