meteor
was that dwarf
leading in a night lane
provincial whores
among the wet lilac
are standing
deep stores are closed -
girls cannot buy for themselves
green eyes
therefore
they contact with the fern
in a night alley
their bodies
are waiting for transformation

Enigmatic this poem holds more beneath the surface. Full of great images.
The text is about the TV show "Fort Boyard," where a dwarf guides you through adventures, obstacles, or trials. The poem conveys a very deep and intimate experience. A meteor seen leads you to adventures in a nighttime alley, just as the dwarf did in "Fort Boyard." Similarly, concerning intimate experiences: the extremely moist lilac of a summer night, the touch of which cannot not be erotic. Literally, any girl you meet at that time looks either enlightened—having fully transformed into a witch—or with green eyes bought from deep stores, which symbolize not only witchcraft but also primal female power that blooms on a summer night. Or you encounter girls in the nighttime alley who seem to be waiting for a merger with the night. In a literal sense, there were no prostitutes in my personal experience, only a meteor leading into a dead-end provincial alley and girls with freshly uprooted plants in their hands. There is something both earthly and otherworldly in this. The poem is an attempt to convey the feelings and profound experience that, that night, replaced my spine. Sorry, English is not my strong side, and sometimes i use translator.
Thank you for the explanation in that I was not familiar with the show. It's okay the English is fine I live in Brazil and Portuguese is not my strongest language so I understand.
