📷📸 Being with you Is like walking a tight rope Over an impossibly high void And every step I take Is a reminder of just how much I hate heights And sometimes I ask myself Why did I ever follow you up here #photography #art #poetry

A utility pole with power lines spanning over an impossible void

📷📸 As the new towers go up Our views are transfixed on the heavens As they're slowly blotted out And replaced with wonders we will never touch Along the way the little things are forgotten That can only be found at ground level And revealed with a curious eye #photography #art #poetry #liminalspace

📷📸 The city sleeps as all thinking organisms do Resting its neurons and pathways Cleaning out the junk Deciding which memories to keep and which to throw away But what does it dream of? And can a nightmare stir it from its sleep Waking it in the dead of night #photography #art #liminalspace
