BRIDGE SEES TWO SIDES

REACHING FROM WHAT IS
INTO DARK EXPECTATION
DREAMS ARE ITS MATTER
GOLD POT ENTRANCES IT
EIGHT ROMANCERS
*FOUR EYETUNED
*FOUR BY WORD

YOKING GIFTS
EGGED ON BY
A RELISH OF
RAW RITUAL
*NERVOUSLY
OFFERING A
FESTIVITY
*JOYOUSLY
TRANSCEND
HABITS OF
EXCUSING
*PRIVACY
AND WITH
RADICAL
TACTICS
INSPIRE
SOME WHO
TRAIL BY
*TO DARE

*A MIX OF

MERCURIAL
IMAGES IN

SIGHT AND
SOUNDWAVES
INITIATING
ON THE WAY
NEW MARVELS

*WELL MAYBE
STEPPING OUT
TOWARDS FRESH
AND GRATIFYING
TRANSFORMATIONS
ESSENCE OF ANY BRIDGE
MOVES LIFE BEYOND THE
EASY PLACE TO BE INTO
NOWHERE SENSED BEFORE
TO CROSS IS TO CREATE
...
