In the semantic field of a ̒sandpit’, as a comprehensively enclosing human existence metaphor are contained two directions of constructing the relation of analogies, based on the scale (“sandpit is the world”; “world is the sandpit”) and two mentally-cognitive structures, which are brief and mobile micro-descriptions of reality (“hourglass”; “trap”) The newest poetry (poems of Dariusz Suska, Przemysław Dakowicz, Adrian Gleń, Krystyna Lars, Leszek Szaruga) refers to the “hourglass of sandpit”, emphasising tem-poral dimension of existence. Modern drama, including Michał Walczak’s play, without sacrificing the potential of the “hourglass”, uses spatial and incidental features of a “trap of sandpit”, informing about temporary or permanent oppression, possibilities and limitations of body, sex, age.
