		untitled (***the stars have the bare breasts of turkish women slaves)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		the stars have the bare breasts of turkish women slaves
		the cool feet
		it is for you -- listen -- that in the faraway Andalusia
		the ankles so obedient to the castanets
		sound
		it is for you that I bare my round hips
		subservient to the curious sun
		to you
		and you fell upon me
		like a bee swarm falls in high song upon an apple tree
		the stars
		in the high Andalusia
		the ground gorged on the sun
		burst
		its mouth drunken on the wind offered in the sun
		to you

		gwiazdy maja/ odkryte piersi tureckich niewolnic
		stopy chl/odne
		to dla ciebie -- posl/uchaj -- w dalekiej Andaluzji
		kostki no/g kastanietom posl/uszne
		dz/wie/cza/
		to dla ciebie odkryl/am okra/gl/e biodra
		ciekawemu sl/on/cu ulegl/a
		tobie
		i opadl/es/ we mnie jak w jabl/on/
		ro/j pszczelny wysokim s/piewem opada
		gwiazdy
		w wysokiej Andaluzji
		ziemia przez/arta sl/on/cem
		pe/kl/a
		usta wiatrem opite sl/on/cem oddaje
		tobie
