except being repurposed
as  oldest living species. 

With an estimated...

"Thy Beautiful Heart : The Blue Faery’s Baby"

Aren’t all what they seem

Where does the

Burned and inscribed,

the cellos sympathize with the sadness of the theme Barber’s Platoon

sending vibrations moaning through my body
