The Vistula is burning

Although the ecological catastrophe is a current nightmare, slowly we begin to foresee brighter visions of the times to come after the chaos.  The ecological crisis became present in our consciousness and  being experienced in everyday living, it influenced an unbelievable reaction of imagination. It occurred  such a style of narration which penetrates language to find cultural patterns and metaphors for describing the weird, non-discursive but real. Burning water as the collision of two elements is the kind of new birth.
