Imagine you are a fern. Imagine you bloom a flower. Dip your eyes into the river during the white night. When the black sun rises, burn down your childhood home. The whole town will worship you as you dance laps around the bonfire. Kick your legs and forget the one who gave you eyes. Did you hold your breath? Please, tell me. Who are you?
