Listening to every heart

cantilevered

can
tile
lever
shelves?

red
in the face
one gets
to put an end
to an end
where a life stays straight
and I see then                                          an unswerving

when I see this word
two ends come to mind, holding up
a middle
of sway

mostly I think….

[………………bridges………………]
linking

one to another
day to dark
me to you

but then my mind works that way

never do I think of
cantilever
without the word
sway

perhaps I was too close to San Francisco
in another life

perhaps

it is because I sway in my mind
and cantilevered shelves

hold my thoughts
……………perhaps……………

Karilea,

Not only is this poem interesting, but also the way your mind works.  Know what?  I like both.

We could call your mind the Golden Gate, but that name is already given.  Why don't we just say you are magnificent and leave it at that?

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I have a dreadful fear of bridges, but I sure enjoyed reading about them.

Kari dear heart utterly beautifully balanced and presented. What can I say dearest this is fabulous.

Now I send this back to the top where it can balance perfectly

Take care

Brutal and mocking but always therea crutch for enmity's saddest glare"
