    About this ebook

    How sweet, to die in the sea,
    Maybe, that is the only thing
    Which gives contrast to salt .
    My eyes are already tired of wars
    maybe in the waves
    will be used as a pillow in eternity.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
