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
