Aperture
Black photograph
Naked eye in flight
I'm by the river's mouth
Where they drowned us shut
My life in shadows
I won't have it any other way
The will of sunspots
The chase between night and day
Black photograph
Evil eye against my plight
I'll be myself
See it with your own eyes
Moon shaped scars
And the blade that made them so
Tincture of blood in fear
Of prolonging your sacrifice
Rife with shadows
The edge of a corner
A salute to your deference
Piercing away the tension
Bleak is my bonfire
I'll wait for sundown
Weak is my conscience
Awaiting deliverance
