Today, my heart went rushing
back to a past that cannot
be revived: ancient days, it seems,
when all in the world was well,
dancing to Polkas in the Pioneer
Ballroom in Silver Creek,
drinking blackberry brandy shots,
whiskey sours, whiskey sweets,
and oceans of pivo, toasting the
newlyweds, eating fried chicken,
kielbasa and cake,
relishing the sound of spoken
Polish, ancestors long gone
in death's dateless night.
(with love to babcia
i dziadek)
(and congratulations to Josselyn
and Jeff!)
