We are winning

 
Divine losers pick scabs
bleeding chapters

the victory lap of laughter
lies in triumphant failures
as the air sabotages
the state of solid

if only temporarily.



2.The first third died
counting railroad ties,
too quickly below the border.

The second slowed spiral
to split ammonite. The third,
is the observed opal

mineral via lux



3. We are winning
because we failed forever.

Our victory is the dancing ghosts
that inhabitate the next impossible forever
which is stealing bricks, sticks and stucco
from this one

and we will move on from the next one;
having never completed a structure for that stretch of ever,
but we will toast sastified that those few missing blocks
from the existing permanence will restore order
to the malleability that fuels the eroding laughter
that massages the tension out of the shoulders
of the stubbornness of how it is
