Links to her social networks:








Withdrawn from circulation, like a banknote,
Covered with a touch of flame and burned in the crucible of words,
I'm here, I want, I can...
Those who could not do anything and I were doomed to something ..
At the end of the dark space
  Maybe there is a tunnel with access to space?
  I will come for you?
Someone told me, but he was deceived
With the words of sweet molasses and I got stuck in it like a moth ...
Don't think about me, I died in the dark...






Shadows leave blue marks on the transparent curtain and window sill
I drink bitter tea
And the taste of orange, sweet and fragrant, remains on the gums and tongue,
  Someone is drilling in the house with a drill outside,
  Change cover
But who will change my failed destiny?
  Sometimes I see the future I want
  But I lost it forever...




blue mug,
  sea ​​for me
shells on a black and dead branch,
  A living being that will also soon die...
Dogs skin their souls while they're alive
They are people in my eyes
I will cry at night to close the impregnable door
  that no one will reveal to me
I'll fly away from sleep like a bird
The warm and many-sided sun will shine behind the chain of many-tiered mountains...
