		untitled (***You are a sea)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		You are a sea
		a ridiculously green sea
		into which I a sea shell
		tasting of ripe pineapples
		sink my head
		I fall in to the ends of my hair
		become lost

		jetsam
		I roar
		with the echo of your
		disappearing
		steps

		Morzem jestes/
		morzem przekle/cie zielonym
		w kto/rym ja muszla
		o smaku dojrzal/ych ananaso/w
		zatapiam gl/owe/
		wpadam po kon/ce wl/oso/w
		gine/

		wyrzucona na brzeg
		szumie/
		echem twoich
		nikna/cych
		kroko/w
