interface

ı cultured myself in a flood

in excessive roots and stems

ı combined what ı mean

despite the interfaces, skillfully sculpting dust days

to see a look in the breath

with this cold passing finality, different bases are divided

sharp live vows of birds

when wanting to reach the bridge bone

strange migration that word

it passes my eyes towards my tongue





A form of a rare composition

A form of a rare composition, minding such a thing

Liquid image fall in to brushwood

How come? When we were the first rime, as resting in hands of rock in big November

Time in turning node sculpted our quietness node

Sour side of plum tree

Migration of my garden to sitting room

Is a matter of extension of all fools

You be conscious with ultimate thoughts when faced off

the sea continuously passing by my sight

Not lovely to properly remember the curves

That are the birds the sky slipped away, when entered in by the door

Necrotic fruits smile
