How to Make
Light of Darkness
in
a world always half in darkness
your
body may be soaked deep
in
a wet nightmare, rotting
but
your heart can roam
like
a synchronous satellite
in
the outer space, leaving
the
long night far behind
as
long as your heart flies fast
&
high enough, you will live
in
light forever
