Love Letter to Failure

Learn to love the fall,

to disappear like a radical ghost

shaking chains as a forgotten name.

 

Make your nests in piles of broken mirror glass,

court heartbreak like a 19th century candlelit lover.

 

Smile at the No,

bring it into your chest,

breathe it in warm.

 

Collapse the roof,

blow out the window,

cradle your shattered legs and kiss them like sleeping children

when they try to drag your broken body from the burning building.

 

And get your blood all over everything.
