  • Unrecovery: Dream, Translucidity and the Glass Man.

    Idyl-amaranth, unfaded lion’s tail crops past the sun. Singed fur-trim hat for mercury rising in this style 10/6. Nasa explorer and science has venus as intensity. Classical meme and the demesne too big. I still freeze speech and extremities like… Continue reading
