Sun (fragment)
Write this. We Have Their villages burned all
Write this. Have we burned all the villages and the people in this Write Them
. WE HAVE ADOPTED Their customs and Their Manner of dress Write this
. A word May Be shaped like a bed, a basket of tears or an X
In the notebook it says, It is the time of mutations, laughter at jokes, secrets Beyond the boundaries of speech
Sun
Write this. We burned all their villages Write this
. We burned all the villages and the people who were in them
Write this. We have adopted their customs and their manner of dress Write this
. One word can take the form of a bed, a basket of tears or an X
writes in his notebook, it's time for change, for laughing at jokes, secrets beyond the boundaries of language
