Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

The sun sank into rusty chains
Ancient Mesopotamian constellations begin to spin
Shadows in the bushes
Sidewalks walking from the back
Cetoniinae trapped in glass
Your gaze runs through the sky
yes, like Schelling's rose
Tesla cars crossing the border
The dust of...

traveling toward the city from the suburbs
