Death by Light

A fallow season, a time of trivial hungers. Scissoring illuminations sheared his eyes. Petulant lips pursed. He laid himself down, yet again covered himself over with a bone deep hurt. Light cut and snipped at the tangled hairs of a grey despair, it swung him open until a self-interned corpse flickered awake in the pale eyes of cave bats No longer were stone angel's graveyard attendants, the world unboxed itself, he had been doornail dead, now a gateway swung wide. Was this life, or was this death by light? Snails had left silver poems on that part of his mind, he had yet to find, yet it was near enough to dream of.
