exercise with archaisms I

half-dragon

Ritos órficos | Orphic Rites Solo en inglés — Only in English I whenever I start dance-walking through the room and you decide to limp in, still yet, or almost already, fully surrounded by shadows, asking but not taking, I pity you not and wonder how do you miss the mirror but not the reflection?
