aping a good life (what success might actually signal)

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”
—Gustav Mahler

Some days everything collapses. Tessa Posthuma De Boer (2007)

There is always a promise.
A hint of certainty—an offering of control.
Then, a volcano erupts after knowing its status: active.

As covenant, trust and belief mutually inspire.
I know you know this translation and how it must feel
when holding sharp fragments—intergalactic vibes:

to want summertime oceans and prairie skies.
All this suggestion begs for minor mysteries
whose performance is a habit. Asking for discretion,
a hint of sin, and longing that chooses you.

All the suspense of being on your knees, heaven spread.
