Difference by Anna Kamienska

 
Tell me what's the difference 
between hope and waiting 
because my heart doesn't know 
It constantly cuts itself on the glass of waiting 
It constantly gets lost in the fog of hope

~ from Astonishments, Selected Poems of Anna Kamieńska, Edited and Translated by Grazyna Drabik & David Curzon (Paraclette Press, 2007)
