Our rugged landscape,
Our legendary generosity,
The children of Afghan.

The legend...

The Fog of the AltarTo Jules Verne
A man feeling drowse at the top of the mountain, fell asleep.

pulling her into his chest
Fitting into his...

she blocked me out, and
heaped hills within hills
masked her ravaged heart
with forceful smile
