Triumph Over Tragedy
The word triumph arrives early and leaves a scar unpaid.
Tragedy arrives without a thesis. It rearranges furniture. It leaves a chair facing the wrong wall.
Triumph is a word people bring when they cannot sit with the wreckage. The text declines the invitation.
What remains after catastrophe is not a climb. It is inventory — what still works, what will not answer its name, what love refuses to leave on the curb.
A scar is not a medal. It is a map of where the weather hit.
The chair still faces the wrong wall.
