From the Ashes
Resurgence without the phoenix brochure.
Ashes do not promise wings. They record what burned.
The heartbroken night is not a training montage. It is a quiet house and a cup that will not be filled.
Resurgence, if it arrives, does not erase the ash. It walks through it and learns the weight of the shoes.
Stronger is a word strangers offer. The text prefers accurate: still here, still breathing, still unable to tidy the ending.
The ash stays on the threshold.
