"Warkoczyki masz jak pajęcze nitki" (Eng. You have small braids like spider threads)


---

warkoczyki masz jak pajęcze nitki
a noc jest taka długa
warkoczykiem oczu nie przesłonisz
gwiazy chodzą w okiennych framugach


---

you have small braids like spider threads
and the night is so long
you cannot shield your eyes with a small braid
the stars walk in the window frames


---
inspired by the poem "The Little Girl in the Picture Is Longing After Someone"
by H. Poświatowska (excerpt)
translated from the Polish by Marek Lugowski
