		The Indian Woman
		-------------------------------------------------------

		a golden circle
		and a dark strand of hair
		on a very white background
		the evening is turning into the night
		smiling
		huddled to her own smile
		she looks on
		two lakes in the dusk
		in aquamarine moss
		reflect the sky
		in the middle -- sunken in its beauty
		a sharp moon lodges
		in front of the furrowed eyebrows

		Hinduska
		-------------------------------------------------------

		zl/ote ko/l/ko
		i pasmo wl/oso/w
		na bardzo bial/ym tle -- ciemne
		wieczo/r zachodzi w noc
		us/miechnie/ta
		do wl/asnego przytulona us/miechu
		patrzy
		dwa jeziora w zmierzchu
		w seledynowym mchu
		odbijaja/ w sobie niebo
		pos/rodku -- zatopiony we wl/asnej urodzie
		ostry ksie/z/yc utkwil/
		naprzeciw s/cia/gnie/tych brwi
