THE WORLD MIRROR / SHAKE HEARTS
21.5.2017
O time
That wind bleed
On my window
I put my beloved ones
In your hands
Since a long time
My window is open
And you are returning back
To it
Just alone
*****
On the braids
Of my blind time
I will hang the place
The place which will collapse
Tear by tear
While I am turning my back
