OCTOBER 10, 1941, FRIDAY17

It’s so sad at home. Today the piano was taken away, so the flat is empty; today Arianka went to Mama, so the soul is empty. It’s cold and dark, and lonely, and somehow … aah, I’m left all alone and all I have is a letter from Buluś, or rather letters. I’ll write a poem here. Actually I’ve put everything I feel and experience in the letter to Mama. And now I’m cold and my eyelids are drooping, and my fingers are numb. I’ll go to bed, but not to sleep, no! I’ll daydream a little, maybe I’ll feel lighter. I’ll think about being with Buluś, that the world is so good and warm and sunny, we open the windows and the lovely scent of the full carnations from Stawki enters the house. Or that it’s a cloudy, rainy autumn and I’ve got a cozy room with a fireplace. It is this little house that Zyguś and I live in, working there in the evenings in the glow of the fire. And I write, write a lot and my legs aren’t cold like now. And then I go to another room and our children are sleeping there, the wonderful angels, none sweeter. But it must be warm, must absolutely be warm, because my fingers are awfully cold.

It’s stupid what I think about when I’m so alone and they leave, when the cold days will be full of yearning again. Buluś, but you’ll come back soon. I’m off to daydream, after all God remembers about me, perhaps He will really make those dreams come true … Renia. You will help me, Buluś and God.
