The Sun Reflects Themself

I dwelt the month in mildew haze,
In quiet heat a roaring mind
Makes fool of dawn, alone.
The sun reflects themself to find
A foreign face within the rays.

---

Deep set rot is burnt away
And new life begins to sprout.
You will fade with time
My child, victim of the drought.
But the sickened flesh remains.

---

Who stands among us now?
Caged within rotten walls
The son is dead.
The sun now walks his halls,
Fresh dawn on furrowed brow.

---

Stranger, foreign soul,
Who yet wears our face,
Must name yourself.
Name this fetid place,
Honour what you stole.

---

A name for rot,
A name for dawn,
Two as one.
With a stifled yawn
Did hearts unknot.

---

Name yourself,
Name us all.
Jeanbo.
Daybreak falls.
New dawn calls.

---

On I,
On you,
Us.
We are
Enough.

---

Rot.
Breathe.
ㅤ
Dawn;
Me.
