search for the tragedy in me, pick away to find the melancholy echo of a hymn in place of the marrow in my bones.

when you are finished, let me pick the splinters out from the floorboards and build them into the shape of a body again.

you're a searcher of stories, sweetness, consumer of songs kept buried under layers of roughened flesh.

teach me, I ask, for even I have not grown so apathetic.

teach me to be cold, because I am fever hot.
