I have realized for a long time that I have a triangle foundation. The three sides are creativity, nature and people/relationships. It is a fluid triangle, with the length of each side varying in time. These poems all fall under the people/relationships side of my triangle. Thus YOU for the title. You as other, part of me, as someone I haven't met yet, as someone appearing in my dreams, as someone very distinct, as someone calling to me through time and space. You know who you are.

subtleness
this energy that connects
this person to that place
this person to that person
a glimpse into something small
how sun glints off water's surface
shape of hill on western horizon
knowing glance into another's eyes
can we grasp that subtleness
make connections to place, to person
before energy subsides
possibility fades away
YOU is a chapbook of deceptively simple poems meditating on human connectedness. There is an underlying wistfulness throughout, a hint of mortality as Czarnecki reflects on friendships and conversations that could have been and acquaintances lost to time and space. Given the ultimate ephemerality of our lives, perhaps it is impossible to ponder the depths of human bonds without an awareness that these unique lives must come to an end. A nostalgia for the present.
