		untitled (***tree climbs on tip-toe)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		tree climbs on tip-toe
		peeks into the sky
		impatient
		counts on its branches

		how many days
		does the trip
		of the green shoots last

		from the deep to the surface
		they come out

		eyes within the bark
		wonder at the earth

		na gal/e/ziach liczy

		ile dni

		kiel/ko/w zielonych

		z gl/e/bi na powierzchnie/
		wychodza/

		oczyma w korze
		dziwia/ sie/ ziemi
