Perspective by Toni L.A. Cross

perspective

seems to dwell

in hospitals

and graveyards

in the quiet

sodden grass

aging stones

sterile silence

white walls

and barren rooms

contemplation’s space

a sobering parenthesis

interrupting the flow

of normalcy

where heartbeats

are deafening

and time slows

individual moments

into freeze-frames

the cataloged past

cannot be edited

but the future

is unscripted
