In a Glass of Wine

Bozena Helena Mazur-Nowak/UK

I’m wondering
between the entrance and the exit
I am looking for you in vain
You have perished
Only our photo on the wall
is still hanging

Here you still look at me
the same way
The moment of happiness
was frozen in that frame
The room is so ominous
at twilight today

You went away and took
the candlelight with you
You cut my dreams into dust
And they blew with the wind
Now, in a glass of wine,
I try to find – the meaning of life
