II This Pretty American Flower
III Le Petit Morte
"Life may be the only thing more fragile than love.
"Though both
machines are uncertain mechanisms. We breathe and we forget we breathe
until, perhaps, that last moment when the lifetime of breathing we
took for granted is suddenly taken from us. At least that is how I
imagine it. Like a gentle suffocation. The same way you feel, in that
first instant a romance ends. Without air. The wind knocked out of
you. The moment before you come when you're making love. A combination
of ecstasy and the inevitable ending. Le petit morte. The sting of
water up your nose swimming as a child, deep inside your head in a
place you can't reach. It's all the same. In. Out."
The Rise and Fall of my Roman Empire is limited to an edition of 100
and consists of three volumes each 20 pages long. Each volume is
printed, cut and assembled by the author and lined with metallic gold
contact paper, wood grain contact paper, and vintage gay porn,
respectively.
