Violent stars crossing demise
Skies complies, shots say their byes
The human race is ready to live when the old world dies…
… Or so it ...

Banes at 12:00AM, July 6, 2023



This year is the 30th anniversary of The Fugitive - that is, the Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones movie. It's a phenomenal movie, and maybe the high bar for the…I guess, the “mature thriller”, we could call it.

Scene
I have stunged apart all the eyes on all of the movies
Apprehention from overseeing alarms
Scent
I have smashed apart all the noses on all of the missiles

Poetry Time 37: Artifacial Heaven

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, June 25, 2023

The fruits that roots themselves to tears,
