"Clematis Vines" & "Beauty-Seeker" by Alina Hanusiak



CLEMATIS VINES

for Agata I.


Like entwined vines of clematis pink

—with invisible beginning and no visible end—

we create a green wall which protects

us both. In each loop a different

talk, a walk though the park, a taste

of coffee after dark, its lingering smell

tickling the heavy summer day, and

that something



BEAUTY-SEEKER

for Wojciech D.


Innate, child-like curiosity for beauty,

quick wit and feet moving

towards the opportunity

—through the opening doors—

of seeing colourful tiles,

architectural green,

and the archway above the entrance

welcoming him in.



Alina Hanusiak is a Polish creative writing PhD student at University College Dublin, where she researches musicality in poetry of others and her own.
