		untitled (***why is the Poprad fuming)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		why is the Poprad fuming
			don't know
		and where is it fleeing
			don't know
		boulders cut their teeth
			oh why
		alders soak their hair in  the water

		downstream the calm petted river
		whispers no and no
		and like a pair of crow's wings
		a spruce hangs above us
