The study of living things emitting light. Every few months I take a salt scrub to my skin and will myself to believe that beneath all the blood vessels I have to be something m o r e and studies suggest that I can be. That with an intensity 1/1000 w e a k e r than the sensitivity of the human eyes, I am glowing. Like a jellyfish, someone said. So for a moment I saw myself deep in between the different waters where the u n d i s c o v e r e d sleep and hide and feel the floors that no one has seen, a light so faint in the ocean so black that you could see me from miles, miles, miles out.
