a bunch of clover
in a little girl's hand
horse's nostrils

pęk koniczyny
w małej dłoni dziewczynki
końskie chrapy

sultry night
you don't let me sleep till dawn
grasshopper

gorąca noc
nie dasz zasnąć do świtu
koniku polny

black-and-white photo —
is that a cherry blossom
in his buttonhole?

czarno-biały kadr —
czy to gałązka wiśni
w jego kieszonce?
