Łagodny zarys nogi
pod wąską opięta spódnicą.
Unoszę.
Moje nogi.
Królestwo gam i kolorów.

A gentle line of leg
under a slender tight skirt.
I raise.
My legs.
A kingdom of gamuts and colors.

noc jak ściana
za nimi
wszechświat z obojętnymi
oczyma gwiazd
i tylko oni – samotni
w odrapanym oknie
ziemskiej ulicy

—

night like a wall
behind them
the universe with indifferent
stars for eyes
and only these two -alone
in a shabby window
of an earthly street

Pod tańcem

fruwają nisko
proste anioły pragnień (…)

Underneath the dance

the simple angels of desires
fly low (…)

Love is a word, the brain – a metal box II

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
