Lech Walesa, former Polish president, to visit New York in support of Occupy Wall Street

Lech Walesa, former Polish president, to visit New York in support of
Occupy Wall Street.

Lech Walesa led shipyard workers in the general strike at the Gdansk Shipyard in communist Poland in 1980, that became the  independent, non-communist, self-governing trade union, Solidarity, which in turn became a nonviolent movement for workers’ rights and social change. Its existence  put into play several key components that made possible the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.

The women shipyard workers, led by Anna Waletynowicz, fought for worker rights and social justice issues against the Communist Polish government, the so-called ‘workers’ party, for the years prior to being joined by the general strike at Gdansk in 1980. Waletynowicz suffered extreme persecution for her courageous actions, among them, editing and distributing an underground newspaper and openly defying superiors’ orders again and again. The Polish director Andrzej Wajda’s films, Man of Marble, then Man of Iron, were based on her life. She died in the plane crash last year that also took the lives of the President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, his wife, the First Lady of Poland, Maria Kaczynska, and other important members of the Polish government. They were traveling for a 70th anniversary commemoration at the site of the 1940 Katyn massacre of 22,000 Polish POW officers and citizens ordered by the Soviet government .   ~ yours truly, df

Night Walk, by Dennis Barone

Our boots were by the door.  We were ready to enter
the cold as soon as we opened the door and stepped

outside.  How surprised we were when we did so and
felt the mild night air.  We turned left and noted

the right side lights had been turned off, possibly
removed, but the left side ones glowed.  We turned

left and proceeded straight, uneventfully, though
we had hoped to see an animal.  When we made our

next left hand turn, we saw lights approaching us.
At the last moment, they veered off to our left, their

right.  Soon, they disappeared.  We heard voices,
but couldn’t place them nor could we locate their

source.  Then we saw an animal, a little farther ahead,
enough so that we could not distinguish its chief

characteristics and hence: its species.  So silent:
we noted as we turned left once more.  We stepped

inside and placed our boots neatly by the door,
hats and gloves beside.

Twilight, a haibun by Donna Fleischer / tinywords

Twilight

and it gives off the kind of hot chill one can get at times of transition. fever in a meadow, when the sun hangs on while evening cools the tall grasses in which you stand and search for something that you have not lost, it is the deepest part of summer verdant, aloof

cool air
the wings of a fly
passing
