I awoke, delighted to be alive
Alive to be delighted.
The day of the x-ray
I read about the bushfires
While the fires knew nothing of me
The day of the x-ray
I had no expectations
I was not subject to disappointment
The day of the x-ray
The path eluded me
So I paced it quadruply
The day of the x-ray
The resident evil arose
Undefeated by reminders and requests
The day of the x-ray
It was still broken
And I am still whole.
