Matkai"Gwiazdy w oknie wagonu. Gwizd drze duszną ciszę.",Andrzej Chciuk,
single work poetry
The poet evokes how stopping at a station, while on a train, recalls times spent with his mother on trains, with the two of them playing Patience. The poem expresses his unrealisable longing for return to Poland and reunion with his mother.
