Emily Dodson
The
Tower
stiletto
on the
street,
conducts
the city
scape
over
cracks
and
cobblestones,
timeless
in their
states,
a monument
to strength,
beauty,
resistance.
The protector—
invulnerable
presses through
the Earth
and pushes to the clouds,
straddles land, captures hearts.
The world’s greatest love triangle.
