Very hot, and I shed an icicle.
When the blue is gone, I will sit on the ruins and play video games, and obscure songs will fill my ears.
What overflows is the sweet flow of blood in our bodies, and the new creek is the great wave of our destiny.
The world speaks, thus I speak with it.
Good day, my beautiful moon, I praise your poetic craters and the Holy Spirit that you try to hide behind.
