concave lens

out from the night against a blowfish of light she sways left and right room enraptured tight   coffee stirs with hushed murmurs as she confers the menu, orders   small black no sugar spoons bent and brokered obscure angles of her to make life fuller   moments that may lead to some great deed when she … Continue reading

where the apple core was thrown
