the cold passions by hiromi suzuki

hiromi suzuki

Someone knocks the door.
Nobody but the postman knocks my door.
The whispering like a nightmare telegraphs his distress.
While I sleep, the voice on the coffin has been shipped to the endless sea.
Sometimes I remember his voice. The voice had an obsession with his life.
It had an endless cold passion.
