A Few Lines
for Him
If I stand in front of a window
facing east, and the sun rises and rises,
and the light pours in brighter and brighter,
I'm really standing under a sunfall.
And as I get sunnier and sunnier,
drenched in sun, until I couldn't be more drenched,
my insides begin to fill up with sun,
until I'm breathing in light, drowning in it.
And as I drown in light, beautiful sunlight,
my heart is fully at rest.
For I experience drowning in light
every time you embrace me
as I swallow your life.
-Tsai
