Hiretsukan

New Lamp Standard

Hiretsukan


Age four. White walls. 
Through a door. 
Shadow falls. 
Say uncle, it's okay. 
Say uncle, it's okay.
Hands reached through cloth and skin. 

Never again. 
One in a hundred thousand. 
Never again. 
Not yours. 
Blackout by breathing in. 
Awoke to...blockout. 

Just memories. 
Just enemies. 
I won't be your next second. 
Not your mock-up. 
Not your knockdown.
Anymore. 
Breathe. 
Just breathe in.
