It stands

by Dan Corjescu / March 12th, 2023

The marbled ruins of love
Root me in their magnificence
Rage of impotence
Will not rise
In my corrugated heart
The massive attempt
Was greatness itself
To make a frail flower
A giant
An imperishable thing
A fallen down oracle
In the midst
Of unforgiving seas
