Writing poetry fills my heart
for that this poet pays a toll;
Every word from the very start
creating and filling a hole,

Walking',

We came too soon like an accidentally detonated bomb
Nine months inside your immortalizing womb

My two hands cannot hold enough water
My wide open mouth evil sin can only utter...
