Shanghai now

This is a time of abeyance

We laugh at the untenable that dares to mock us

It is a time of slowness, heads back, bodies in supplication to the rhythm that shatters the havoc wreaked

With a timing entirely its own, the rhythm realigns us

Into what? We don’t know yet

This is a time of beat matching the dissolution to the rising

How does our song sound? Like a sanguine moon

We are perilune

We no longer rummage through, wondering, wishing, waning. No longer in the wake, we cherish the frenetic, the pain and the grace.

It is the grace that turns us

We live the lunar orbit

Our descant is our rawness

Face is the soul of this song.
