A MAGIC TRICK
for Marek Sz.
with that sorry shorter leg of his
so proud of himself,
when he made the jump
he shouted: look, a magic trick!
and then it was necessary to
move into the copper cauldron,
hey, let’s pretend it’s washday!
hide! a magic trick
and now – mother said –
let’s play hide and seek
with the neighbour from across the road
he won’t find us: a magic trick
and when they led them out
she said: don’t fear, my son,
it won’t hurt, not at all.
they vanished
a magic trick.
