the grass moves like the eyelashes of virgins under water
Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)
the grass moves like the eyelashes of virgins under water
touches people floating low above the ground
like naughty ghosts
the voices of teenagers bear fruit in the twilight
in everything the stars do not do there is some detachment
if you're lucky
you will see a bat listed in the red book
or a woman who came to the store in a dressing gown
it can be seen on the streetsso independent cinema
that its only viewer is your bone marrow
