La petite mort

The little death...
a breath that goes out to let you die in Hedone's hands
just to bring you back to life few seconds after.

Every day a little death crosses our path, even without noticing it,
as we thrive to experience only one kind of La petite mort.


When the sun shines through the window,
reaching that beautiful windowless space
and fills it with bright flow of light
one dies a little death.


When the remembrances reach the present moment
bringing someone's smile all the way from the past
with the intensity of a lively instant
one get a petit mort.


Is with the body ecstasy
that one manage to grasp
the overflowing pleasure
of melting into the magnificent


La petit mort,
be kind enough
to bring your enchantments
so the I can die while disappearing into the all
