Yearning swishes upon my head. Touches me with a seagull's wing. Is it still the same one? I don't know! I don't know... (Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska)

Maybe "seagull" should be in one word?
I'm not sure about the choice of the word "swishes", which is a word I associate more with cloth, curtains, large twirling dresses or skirts, or with paint but not really with seagulls or yearning.
I've opened a poll because I don't speak any Polish at all

thanks for your remarks.
According to wiki: "In common usage, members of various gull species are often referred to as sea gulls or seagulls." Anyway, "seagull" really might be smoother as I think it's more common than "sea gull".
As far as "swishes" is concerned, what would you suggest instead? "Rustles"? I picked "swishes" because it's connected with silk and makes a nice alliteration. What do you think?

I like the word "swishes".
It makes me think of "swoop", "rustle",
We can keep it

"Seagull" is corrected, we keep "swishes" ![](../images/emo/smile.png) . Once again, thanks for your remarks.
