lyrics

7. The Freezer (Vann Nath, 1946-2011)

I was a slim survivor in the land of the bone and skin. Just the husk of a painter when they locked the outside in. If you slip me your supper I will draw you an empty bowl. See the insects humming, we could steam and eat them whole. Have we taken everyone? Have you looked in the freezer? There's a bag with a human head. They're trying to read our brainwaves, they want to kill us before we're dead. Have we taken everyone, have we taken everyone? … See the blind man missing from the rice fields in the dawn. They took his wife in a convoy, now there’s nobody left to wrong.
