(poems not in _Wiersze Wybrane_ (Selected Poems), Jan Zych ed. / DRAFT2)

		untitled (***I desire you)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		I desire you
		and this is a conspiracy of vigilant fibers
		and this is a gambol
		it lived in blind cul-de-sacs

		I hold ten open ones
		on a leash
		so that they do not run out
		to accost your brows

		so that you would not lift them in surprise
		so that you would not intuit
