Window on the void

Lorenz

Which  parody  comes before 

the first note of the melody ?

The night hides its strategy 

and the wheels of chance 

throw  the cards  of destiny...

Nothing going to go right,

 the game's  up ...

 chaos engineers  decide 

on the mathematics 

 of broken lines ...

This morning  ,a girl wore 

her beautiful red dress  

over  black underwear 

like derisory perfume of desire...

Which  travesty comes after 

the last note of the melody  ?

Burlesque whole that  a mad painter

throws on a canvas  of  nothing ...

Inspiration embodied in matter 

of steel and  regrets ...

Prison like a window opening 

into the void ,where a girl  in a red dress

can only choose between fire and  fall  ...

 A bungy jumping muslim  takes her hand 

 ,for the price of a mocha latte...Inch allah ...

And the dust of the moment ,

merges with the silent soud

that  embraces  the  concrete...

    Ce n'est pas un destin qu'elle a choisi, mais dans ses derniers instants, elle semble avoir réussi à l'accepter.

    Fire and fall sounds like hell. Freedom is so liberating. Imagine having wings to fly. I felt the imprisonment of the spirit here. Beautifully penned and rich with metaphor. Thank you.

      Life is a choice between two fatal equations .
