komorebi

komorebi (df): sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees.

I like to look at the sun

through my fingers

this is when I pretend

that I am a tree

I get easily blinded

but instead of tears

I cry with sap

my skin is still white

with this unhealthy

paleness

so I guess I must be

a birch

you carve

your initials

on my stomach

but it doesn't

hurt anymore

light pierces

my wooden hand

and lands

at your feet
