autumn

evening

live

feed

from

mars 

—Lev Hart


end of autumn

I doubt the movie

will get much better

—Lev Hart


skyful     of     stars      how       do     i      fill      my     emptiness

—Lev Hart


end of harvest 

the gods pack up 

and move on

—Lev Hart

we're like two vacuum cleaners

sucking at each other

first cold

my son walks

in my shoes

sunset light

traces of loneliness

on the armchair

a cup of coffee

the warmth left

by his hands
