Nastja Säde Rönkkö
New work
O is for oblivion. Oblivion is learned over time when enough hurt is experienced. I was slowly hurt when I got to know you. The second time when you hurt me, I feel not much but a mild pain, like a lukewarm Amstel on a hot summer day. Survival Guide for a Post-Apocalyptic Child (N) is part of Nastja Säde... Read more »
