*
People never talk about the pain of the process.

"Heroic bird, risen from the ashes,

Overcoming death time and again."

Even the bright feathers, gloriously recreated,

Never cease their hissing and curling

In the flames of my imagination.

eXhumed from their eternal bliss, time and time again.
