the sun peeks into the sunflower's throat
Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)
the sun peeks into the sunflower's throat
in the valley on the white moon
the moon is looking for its eyelids
to close its eyes and rest
the sun and the moon are two humped birds
over the graveyard of ships made of the light
the house gives birth to people from a forbidden movie
they harvest the immortal dandelion
dandelion has a headache from the poems
so they wrap its head in a towel
they pass the sun and the moon on to their children
like the testament that was written in the shadow of a stork
