in places of darkness, the fern is quiet like a grandfather under tranquilizers
Sviatoslav Hurhura 1991 (Ukraine)
in places of darkness, the fern is quiet like a grandfather under tranquilizers
the fern sings quietly like in a house where a baby sleeps
the redheads are dressed in towels from the chest
give ferns their collective tongue
beyond the navel of the woman who caresses the stars
everything as it was when it started
all that remains is to listen
