00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.850 align:middle line:90%
"Portrait as Scar."

00:00:03.850 --> 00:00:06.340 align:middle line:84%
"So that's when the scars
salvaged my shoulder hole.

00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:08.530 align:middle line:90%
Because I was a husk, you see.

00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:10.810 align:middle line:90%
Never eating breath or light.

00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:14.050 align:middle line:84%
You're right, thrown into the
grass it wasn't scarred yet.

00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:16.270 align:middle line:90%
Just little gathering splinters.

00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:20.080 align:middle line:84%
But then I felt it, again,
begin to twist above me.

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:23.530 align:middle line:84%
And the fire ants rushed
to bite its prickling bark.

00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:26.830 align:middle line:84%
Sure, I tried to rub it
between anyone's lies

00:00:26.830 --> 00:00:28.480 align:middle line:90%
to keep their flames at bay.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.210 align:middle line:90%
Oh man, their skin hungry flays.

00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:34.210 align:middle line:84%
It skinned dream water as
a side that taught me how

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:35.980 align:middle line:90%
to carry the word cauterize.

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:38.410 align:middle line:84%
The scar wished itself
sapphire, and waited

00:00:38.410 --> 00:00:41.530 align:middle line:84%
for me to lift my head
to chew on ice chips.

00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:43.540 align:middle line:84%
Waited for me to
quench my anger's

00:00:43.540 --> 00:00:47.020 align:middle line:84%
lust, until I was strong
enough to love without it.

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:50.440 align:middle line:84%
It was only then could I knew
the scar had made me a queen.

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:53.905 align:middle line:84%
I swear it, yes, sculpted
from a dragon's tusk."

00:00:53.905 --> 00:01:00.560 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.780 align:middle line:84%
I may or may not have been
watching Game of Thrones

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:03.280 align:middle line:90%
during--

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:04.400 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.540 align:middle line:84%
--part of the
composition of that poem.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
