He was proceeding with a baby noise on his lap
and he couldn’t be able to given a name to him
the purity is not enough to remain in the world
they called him Sand’s baby. knowingly
or unknowingly. I have no idea
the day is condensed within the entire times
2.
Let’s wait with how many shots will be stopped. the things
salt on the tongue. the spirit of the salt. so many contra invention
