		untitled (***hey come)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		hey come
		I will hug you lightly
		like the fondled water hugs the earth

		hey come
		I will touch your eyebrows
		like the awakened water

		hey come
		I will pounce on your mouth
		like the water that rises from the bottom

		I will stick
		in a warm rain
		to the window pane of your smile
		I will linger so that I may dry out
		through remaining sunny days

		no chodz/
		obejme/ cie/ lekko
		jak ugl/askana woda ziemie/

		no chodz/
		dotkne/ twoich brwi
		jak obudzona woda

		no chodz/
		spadne/ na twoje usta
		jak woda podniesiona z dna

		ciepl/ym deszczem
		przywarta
		do szyby twojego us/miechu
		zostane/ aby wysychac/
		przez reszte/ sl/onecznych dni
