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
