Again, two meters of snow will fall down, we’ll go seeking for tenderness in it - and nothing.
Again, I see people with rolls of wrapping paper protruding from them like periscopes from concrete bunkers.

Vltavská, 2005

 and are sold alive or killed on the spot.)

To my neverending big and bigger last love!!!

It’s morning
The girls go to work
To lose
Some more beads
