		untitled (***it's all about you in my sleepy thoughts)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		it's all about you in my sleepy thoughts
		you come
		and are the shadow
		sown upon the golden skin of the day
		and so leaning on the wall of your mouth
		I rest in the shadow

		with a smile
		I call your hands
		a flock of June butterflies
		thick in the sun
		in flutter
		falling on the grass of my body

		under the trunk of a pine
		on the lazy slope of the earth
		we lie about our heels in the sun
		the gull's cry is dying
		over the prayer-whispering sea

		o tobie w sennym zamys/leniu
		przychodzisz
		i jestes/ cieniem
		posianym na zl/otej sko/rze dnia
		wie/c oparta o s/ciane/ twoich ust
		odpoczywam w cieniu

		us/miechem
		wol/am twoje dl/onie
		stado czerwcowych motyli
		ge/stych w sl/on/cu
		trzepotem
		opadaja/cych na trawe/ mojego cial/a

		pod pniem sosny
		na leniwym zboczu ziemi
		lez/ymy z pie/tami w sl/on/cu
		je/k mewy gas/nie
		nad szepcza/cym modlitwy morzem
