Willows are willows everywhere

Alma-Ata willow, how beautiful you are
Draped in glowing white frost
But should I forget you, my withered willow in Warsaw’s
Rozbrat Street,
Let me hand wither as well!

Mountains are mountains everywhere
Tian Shan, before my eyes, sails upward
Into a purple sky. . .
But should I forget you, the Tatra peaks I left so far behind,
The Bialy brook, where my son and I daydreamed colorful
Sea voyage. . .
Let me turn into Tian Shan stone

If I forget you
If I forget my hometown. . .

~ Alexander Wat “Willow Trees in Alma-Ata” ~ January 1942
