#+title: The Fractal Phoenix
|
|
|
|
A poem I wrote on [2016-05-05 Thu] (?), using the metaphor of [[id:c3ef9323-5108-4fc1-a9a4-0899369d0c44][The Phoenix]]. I had
|
|
a lot of emotions raging at once that day, in a lot of different ways, in a lot
|
|
of different stages.
|
|
|
|
I recall putting it together during a drive to work, and scrambling to get it
|
|
down at a red light.

#+begin_verse
|
|
A tumultuous existence
|
|
|
|
Parts dead and silent
|
|
|
|
Parts bolstered by the flames
|
|
|
|
Parts in agony as the white hot fire overwhelms and consumes simultaneously
|
|
hopeful, numb, determined, enraged, despondent, mischievous, strong, and
|
|
shattered.
