POÈME + SOUVENIR
Edgewise
Une archéologie de l’enfance faite de verre brisé, de désobéissance, de secrets et de cette logique intime qui rend précieux ce que d’autres ont jeté.
AUTHOR'S MEMORY
The rule against broken glass.
This section is reserved for the short autobiographical story behind the poem: collecting colored shards, being told to stop, continuing secretly, and finally being caught.
Add the author account here when ready. It can be more conversational than the poem itself: where the glass was found, what made it feel valuable, how the rule was understood as a child, and what happened when the hidden collection was discovered.
Editorial prompt
What did the pieces look like? Why did “you don’t know where that’s been” feel insufficient? What remains vivid about hiding in the bath rather than facing the disappointment?
