Flowering plant spread like a fan from the window chest a hundred exhausted r faces pressing outward immigrants from a boat stopped short of shore through coastal agents realize no other than now too late the fresh tether that feeds us also hold us back.


Flowering plant spread like a fan

from the window chest

a hundred exhausted r faces pressing outward

immigrants from a boat stopped short

of shore through coastal agents

realize no other than now too late



the fresh tether that feeds us also

hold us back, o mirage, o my longing
