don’t think I don’t know you. you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I’m a human from now on. all your dirty tricks disgust me, your flowers and your pretty words are not enough for me. lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies will never love you. I see you from afar and my heart does not flicker. the ocean of my heart is no longer blooming– not for you and all your cruelty. go away and never come back. do you hear me, calling into the hail: go away and never come back.
and even when we paint ourselves the most sincere, the counting of the days proves us false.
Even now, even still, your collarbones stick in my throat.
I want to move backwards, slowly, painfully, undoing the work of all my days until I reach the moment when I burned you. Your pale skin is what they will bury me in.

I’m one half of the props design team on this show. (Which mostly, for me, has involved mime work with the actors, which has been fun!) You should see it!
