		untitled (***waiting for you)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		waiting for you
		an endless task
		using cloudy daylight
		to build your mouth
		lengths of hair
		fingers

		telling stories about you
		to a dark crow that is flying
		over the square of my bed
		to accost the dark crow
		and into its smooth-combed wings
		shout out my fright

		        Halina Poswiatowska d. 11 October 1967
