Podíval se na ni a zkameněl. Měla krásné košíčky. Tolik ji chtěl políbit, ale jak mohl. Nemohl. Překonával svou touhu. A náhle zmizela, vypařila se do neznáma, Tolik toužil po těch jejich nádherných košíčcích……

: yeah, translating this as "breasts" would change the meaning. The word definitely isn´t neutral and I´ve never heard any man refer to breasts using this word, so you should keep this word as weird as it sounds in the original...

: teat is more of a nipple or animal's "vemeno", as well as a cap on a baby's bottle, and it somehow sounds vulgar in this context

boobies
Just an idea. Most dictionaries still have it as vulgarism but I don't think it's considered to be one anymore.

: That's baby talk and I can't imagine a man referring to breasts by that term. Boobs perhaps...

Well, I believe that baby talk would be titties rather than boobies.

: Radka is right. Boobies is vulgar child talk. And titties, that's Bennie Hill.

breasts
If that is what kosicky is supposed to mean. Boobies is for kids. If its poetry "breasts" is the most romantic. Otherwise you have "mounds", "bolders", "kahonies", and I can go on and on (the dirty old pervert that I am...)

tits or tities
len na okraj;
