In Memoriam...

Tylko guziki nieugięte
przetrwały śmierć świadkowie zbrodni
z głębin wychodzą na powierzchnię
jedyny pomnik na ich grobie

są aby świadczyć Bóg policzy
i ulituje się nad nimi
lecz jak zmartwychstać mają ciałem
kiedy są lepką cząstką ziemi

przeleciał ptak przepływa obłok
upada liść kiełkuje ślaz
i cisza jest na wysokościach
i dymi mgłą katyński las

tylko guziki nieugięte
potężny głos zamilkłych chórów
tylko guziki nieugięte
guziki z płaszczy i mundurów

Zbigniew Herbert
