Once Light
"Once Light" was an assignment of my creative writing class.
I altered a little after.
The passages are blood-streaming through my veins of my body and my daily.
I freed the consciousness from stubborn cell and picked up all the messages I received from lyrics, articles, conversations, chit-chats, sounds and yells.
I was intentional to capture the glimpse of life as I tried to grabbed the silk of spider net, as I was willing to step in the zone of brightness, and as I documented the possible alternation of daily.
so
I climbed out of my nest
I hate this morning sunlight
that hit my face
or it is only because the eyeshade all night
I sat on the edge of bed
stretched my legs
cracked my neck
took a deep breath in
then stretched my body
and got up
turned on the teakettle
went to shower
took my daily nutrition powder
and pills
put on clothes
had bag
filled the necessary stuff
headphones in ears
out
got off the elevator
said
good morning
to her
as every morning usual
opened the door
went down the stairs
turned left
past two blocks
waited 30 seconds signal
down to the underground station.
Today would no delay
I think
even though sometime I couldn’t care that much
or think that much
might because get up earlier
no much people down here
Otherwise other times
no possible standing this spot
no possible getting off without
excuse me
then I was getting off the train
without
excuses
went up the stairs
pushed the revolving door
went up the stairs
I know it is effective as I am
I don’t know if I got back to the ground or that underground’s ground,
it is the ground
but I still walked on the way to school
as every day usual
today’s weather made me under the weather
shiny brightly
for the person who just finished
acne treatment
totally disaster
even closed eyes, it is still through
the thin eyelid
shot in,
into pink light
why human lost their ability to close the second eyelid
why is the present sunlight strong enough to
make me look small
why as I child,
the one could only get brighter I knew
is starlight
only because we would get closer?
then I grew
the starlight lay upon my face
let me find myself alone
so wonderful actually
to let me hang in the sunlight
until I am being blind
I can feel it
feel the sharp pain
as sunlight impacting face
I pray for the starlight could shine now
for they are closer as we are
they are near
but they will present my present
they will not present my present
to see them now
to hear you now
I can look outside myself
I must examine my breath then
look inside again
I can feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it…
I am like blind
I’m blind
I walked on this street like I’m blind
I couldn’t see anyone
only the tortua from sunlight reminds
me
warning I am still
the person is prostrate
always that human crawls the ground
it is right there
just cross this block.
Or I walked to that street side
no sunlight
undercover
hide in shadow
divide in your inside
as you stand above me
promising death
I walked alone on my side
the bled windows at my side
while eternity cycles wildly inside me
I pray
all floats away with decrescendo of
sorrow
in fact, they were gone
since I pressed the pause
I am in classroom
for so long I’ve been obeyed
under my world
I’ve always contained my desire to
control me
Tell me when I will be there
down to there to cut that line
Tell me when I will be there
divide to there to cut this string
hope there will be someone
can take care of my corpse
when I die, bury the dead
hope there is someone
can embrace me
when I am tired to set me free
I am scared of that place,
middle in light and nowhere
but please leave me there, leave me there
at least I could touch them, feel them
let my head have rest, rest it
please pray for me not paralyze in light
please pray for me not drown in void.
in 3 hours class
I bought a cup of hot tea and a box of salad
while the resting time
at second floor
when I back
checked messages
it said come here
I said why
he said no why
I said why said no why to ask me to come
she said come
I said no
they said come quickly
I said oh well, yea.
No one can stop me now
No one can stop me now
Their eyes are curling up under the
ground
Underneath the ground
I felt you calling up me in my gloom
rest assured, my love is pure.
God knows how I adore life
If the white turns on the branches lies another day
I can’t ask for more
When the time bell rings my here
I arose
the class over
today
said bye to friends
took a cab
to there
Then I came to the river
Then they came from the road
I wanted to know
Just to call my own
Then I walked on the watershed
Till I came up, up to close
Throw my pain in the river
Then I went without words
Then we walked with our lives
As we followed the river
As we followed the road
As we walked through this city
As I wanted the whole that makes me all
As the white light scattered
In this river.
Through the warmest
This river
Your love sent me
Do it with me
Or put it into me.
I am so close to tear
So close to there.
Dark and divide still strong
Beautifullest or fragilest
As I entered lightly
Restoring my blisses
While sharing my core to stay to go
nowhere
Miraculous cure inhale my youth’s spirit
Half awake, half asleep
We faint again
Into sleephood
Please inside me
The ecstatic vision of God
Across the ocean.
He will never return it.
So when you come back,
We will have to make a new love.
A brand new start.
Everett walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Here is my desire
Coldness cooled it.
I walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Here is my lust
Let’s build a fire.
To lift us higher, to lift us above.
All will know me.
All harms know me.
The place of love and mystery.
Let the show start.
It’s a sorry light.
Let the clouds roll.
Will there be a life to be found in this world.
Vertigo with me.
Lead me to the way to bed.
Through the crowds.
Through the white.
Through the every tree towered around.
Through my fantasy about them all.
Through my lust cuddled me up.
Through my breath on the neck.
Through the train’s wind blew my face.
Let me shelter in your bosom.
Let me hide in your hair.
Let me cover by.
This solar light.
Dear darkness.
Won't you cover me again?
Cover me from the sun,
from the words.
They are tightening my throat.
Hit me with the night.
Look inside my flesh.
With your eyes,
Moving my limbs.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Even though I have no belief in you.
But there
Nobody’s listening,
Nobody’s listening,
Nobody’s listening,
I don’t need much.
I just realized.
Eruptive lightning flutter to above,
This panting silence filled my empty of vault
Of night.
Sweet bed,
Even if you cannot compare to my bed in
home,
You are sweet enough.
I’ve got my heart.
Here in my bed now.
My self as well.
I’m gonna be born into the light.
Soon.
These are my seasons.
Cross winter to winter.
Autumn leaves,
Beauty has got a hold on me.
Shadows are drifting in silence.
These are my seasons.
Cross day to day.
Gather or spread,
Love won’t lend,
Loneliness as well.
These are
My stories from the city,
My histories from the sea.
In the end,
No matter what your memories or my history,
They would be just created by someone five
minutes ago.
Winter is over.
The season roll.
Us.
Farther.
Then.
