broken link

isn’t is

October 3, 201749 Comments

lines full of word had all want gone in their space for nothing   no-word for no-one through slips given was lost in the found songful   silent hope fought in the ground   wisp o'er the willing or seeming not enough up hell to go down   heaven fell climbing among stares word angels … Continue reading isn’t is
