once again new waves are carried out
in quick
water colors curling
the boats of heaven of remote
...
we imagined the weather
would hold up the rain
lets itself daily
with its sedan carried
...
from the burning
scissor-steps racing
peels out tetrapod fly
to the edges of breath
...
at the end of august advently items
become conceivable again wool something
on your skin beside
white herds of drought summer
...
