Paweł Szkołut
Lapland
The endless horizon
of wooded hills
immersed in silence
interrupted by the rare
singing of birds
reindeers
coming from the north
between the autumnal shots
and winter hunting
The Sami people
singing their jojk songs
and connecting with the ancestral spirits
the arctic wind
blowing under
the sky of amaranthine colors
at sunset
passing time
measured by growth of moss
on the rocks
and scattered antlers
of reindeers and elks
the perfect proportions
of long summer days
and short days of winter
the unity of coldness
and clean air
at nights
the intensified proximity
of the starlit
Universe
VIII 1995
