demo-reconstrution

 Wanton Demolition
Brick by brick
Board by board
Screws unscrewed
Bolts loosened
Nails levered out
Pipes reclaimed
Windows smashed
Walls collapsed
Doors reclaimed
Features removed
Paint stripped
Varnish removed
Deliberately burn
Constructively crushed
Reduced to rubble
Dust to dust

A Phoenix arises
Not with bricks
Debrief of boards
Refusing to be screwed
Bolts without nuts
No more nails
Pipe works fixed
Clear new lenses
Walls ice cream
Doors jarred open
Features sensitively faked
Painting brightly
Varnish colour stained
The fire still burns
Pride no swells
Improved and rebuilt
Flexibly solid

It is still me
Reconstructed differently
