LE BAL INONDÉ // ÉCLAT II
▓▒░ signal found under the water ░▒▓
Midnight. Under the water. Under the w̷a̷t̷e̷r̷.
Torchlight in black water: red lips, pearls, a porcelain heel. Then the King raises his trident, and everyone starts d̶r̶o̶w̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ dancing.
[ÉCLAT: n. a shard · a splinter · a flash]
Latex hardens into porcelain — it c r a c k s — the crack fills with gold.
A couple waltzes upside down. A head jerks l-l-left, r-r-right, and stops dead.
A girl in red spins until she bursts into petals. A dolphin swims out of a mirror.
At dawn the water drains. Everyone back in their place, dripping, perfectly still. Except one d̷o̷l̷p̷h̷i̷n̷.
A fragment broken from PORCELAINE PARIS.
Blue and white. Glaze and water. The ball never ends — it only l-l-loops.
