Read More Death – beyond the blind curve…Listen To the sound of the old fan above your head To the sound of the keys as you type To the silence of the birds in the mornings To the gibberish of the newborns To the mumblings of the old re-borns To the meaning behind the tantrums To the reason behind the cold words […]
