the man hunted an endless fox
Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)
the man hunted an endless fox
stuck in a sedative fog
that will not shake the poppy seeds
leaves without skeletons are weightless
like a voice saying "sleep already"
won't budge
naked giants smoking a pipe
fog comes out of it
summoned grandmothers embroider for them shirts
made of the ground
naked giants smoking a pipe
their giant hearts will not be moved
