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……………

Amazing concept. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

You give architectural features and bridges a soft, swaying grace. How do you do that?
