playing with fire

The shared book tower

made from encyclopaedias, book heart garland,
and thousands of origami hearts in a basket

(thanks to the little fingers of my high school slaves)
that stood sentinel onsite for the duration of the festival

was deconstructed

I left my basket of origami book hearts behind for the site folk to 

thoughtfully dispose of
I suggested perhaps composting them
but the guys had seen
something of what I often get up to when I pile books up high

and they couldn't resist doing
what OH&S prohibited me from undertaking publicly....

ahhhhh a fitting fiery end to things I think!
