Rozgniatam usta o pierze poduszek rozsnuwam włosy

kolor zeschłych liści po gładkim chłodnym prześcieradle.

Zanurzam ręce w ciemność owijam wokół palców milczące

gałęzie. Ptaki śpią. Gwiazdy nie potrafią uskrzydlić

ciężkich chmur. Noc rośnie we mnie - minuty -

czerwone krople tętniącej krwi przebiegają ostrożnie.

I mash my mouth against the down of pillows I strand my hair

the color of dried leaves over the smooth cool bed sheet.

I sink my hands into darkness and I wind around my fingers

the silent branches of trees. The birds are asleep. The

stars are unable to put wings on the heavy clouds. The

night is growing within me - by minutes - the red drops

of pulsating blood skitter by cautiously.
