Well, yes, I do remember next to our house there was this ditch and the water in it flowed very fast and daddy used to put up pinwheels in it.
They spun around and around and they were peat bogs.
With ponds that were so clear.
Once there was a place Poles called Volenn.
It had wide, wide skies, the fields yellow with sunflowers.
In summer, the roadside pop was heavy with mistletoe.
And so many birds.
Black storks, white storks, herons.
It also had secrets, dark ones.
In my family, it was always a taboo subject.
What I know, it was only the things that I heard from the slightly open doors when I was a child.
Stories that are definitely not for children.
I saw them setting fire to the house and children jumping out of the windows and being thrown back in again and then running.
I don't remember what happened next.
