H. (Cannibalistic Creation)

Can you feel the way I trace your bones at night? Can you understand why the moon needs my flight? I am a thousand miles in the future and just three years away. Yet, I still         Sink into the well,         Furiously clawing at ancient walls.         When will they crumble?         When will the earth devour me? When will I use my own power to overcome this prison? Will the sun illuminate the new path to the lost ivory rhythm? I used to be Icarus, Now I sinfully wait for the sun to come to me. Stumbling in the black water, reeking of blood and magnolia roots, I lose the memory of kissing the sunlight on the soft bones of your nose. Perhaps, that is where the sun will stay stuck in a memory that melted into my sanguine rivers. The only solution lies in joyfully understanding the watery mud, You must, my dear, drink your own blood.
