Like a rattle
Being creative
Starting, some drama
Looking at my image

Drink some wine
Memorize
Protect...

Of keyboard and swipe

And the landslide that still stains my grave.
An evil cursed wind it was, 
Lacerating the drenched cliffs 
And descending gullies of Rubio Canyon,
With wailing sheets of...

I don't know since when.

I don't know

They find a way to prove their point.
