It's Still Life

The Architecture of a Moment

Notes: Rooted in the oldest English tradition, Anglo-Saxon accentual verse follows the rhythm of breath and heartbeat rather than syllable or rhyme, where meaning is carried by cadence, image, and pause.

The Architecture of Where

It’s where the dandelion
loses its crown,
where rain
comes sheeting down,

where the river’s reach
meets the waiting sea,

where your breath
meets mine
in the cold, clear air —

and there,
the world breathes.
