.lower remedy lane


and to survive this, you need to sleep long, you need to sleep sound 
sleep deep, see your own within the haven of your eyelids 
remember dreams of angels blowing black balloons for you

you say there's beauty in a scar

i find it sick, but it's a part of me i've long ago accepted

now what a stupid thing you are 
sometimes

as you watch it 
you draw your lips closer 
and with all tenderness you can find 
you slide your fingertips over its surface 

not to make it hurt 
- to understand better
feel like your own 
give it warmth, give it cold 
whatever it needs 

now isn't it sick
drawn to each other for every stain

when you see beauty there 
but without taking any pleasure 
and asking yourself: 

where are the lost rites 

and when you've opened so much 
that it's made every rib in your chest break 
for a land that's hidden it had no sky 
and thrown you into an airless void 

the ill-mended bones, you know 
you need to break them again, by yourself 
so you run 
straight into this wall 
so you run fast 

onto the pain of salvation
