Analysis of midday light penetrates inside the mustached men
Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)
midday light penetrates inside the mustached men
under mother's burdock lies silence hard as Ukrainian bones
still there lies a drunkard like a sentinel in an insect paradise
Dandelion's swollen brain explodes with an ease not seen in Bounty commercials
those that have become amulets on the neck of the quiet hour fly close to the heart
they lose when the children on the street start sharing cakes
