Yanguang

The world was bright living in the sunlight
And it washed me white
When I loomed upon my own heights

Do we write down our love and read it back to ourselves?
Or do we wake up with nothing else to retell

Do I spill my chloroform from out my thighs
And start to hear the buzzing flies
And waft around the room at night
With bruises growing through my insides
And dripping flesh down through my thighs
I take a breath with empty mind
And see you there with empty eyes
And eat you up with empty insides
But through the hollow stinking bones there shines
Sunlight

Bravery is not
Showing off the arms I've got
Or staring at the sun
Til my eyes fall out my front
Its reaching out my hand
Without a light to guide me in
In eighty years we die
And twenty of them's passed us by
