The poet intertwines real geographical routes with imaginary ones. Numerous toponyms and hydronyms in combination with significant cultural attributes of historical epochs make it possible to demonstrate the wandering of a lonely soul around the world and emphasize the simultaneous cyclicality and infinity of the life path.
