miłość jest słowem
mózg – metalową skrzynką
nakręcaną codziennie
srebrnym kluczem ułudy
ciekawości by wiedzieć
pragnienia aby znać
pożądania aby błyszczeć
uporu aby istnieć
—
love is a word
the brain – a metal box
wound up daily
with a silver key of delusion
a curiosity for knowing
a desire for sensing
a lust for shining
a stubbornness for being
