*

within my succession of failure


(échec)

ressentir

reconstruction brings

a shower of rose petals

distortion brings

a cascade of sparks

a fire turns loose

incineration

sure to bring

total destruction

and with that

the layouts

for a new constitution

can be created














concevoir(s)

only to weave its way back into

my succession of failure





(échec)
