'The weekend hangs like nausea on a hot summer noon' - The author delves into the heaviness of being alone.

The parting meanders between us—바카라 웹사이트
An untamed river in oil colours, 바카라 웹사이트
It reeks of turpentine memories
minced in a butcher라이브 바카라 shop nearby.바카라 웹사이트
The weekend hangs like nausea
on a hot summer noon~

Dark clouds call 바카라 웹사이트
like a raven from an empty room 바카라 웹사이트

Alone!

I wait like a fallen angel
Making perfect paper boats,
Swiping the Meghaduta verses
in loud silence of the raindrops, 바카라 웹사이트

Desiring your return
in the trail of my tears—
The raga of the rains, all night
