Architecture

“Architectural Abstract” by Debra Hurd

build it up
tear it down
build again
swing the
hammer
the maul
light and dark
in recursive
exchange
timing
soundless
bright beats
of circadian
rhythms

each day a
new construct
a castle
of courage
each night
reveals
structural
failures in
cracks of
innate
indefeasible
fears who
demand
demolition

the blueprint
for bravery
raising a
tower erect
of conviction
continues
to hide
holding secrets
from citizens
here on this
pitiless street
in this
merciless
city of time
