Ascend the Corbie Steps

SAM_2546

On a tilt of light

ascend the corbie steps.

 

Perch with the birds

of the shadow world.

Above the City: Leaving / Returning

Birds2

a city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time

Patrick Geddes

and the resourceful creatures see clearly

that we are not really at home

in the interpreted world

Rainer Maria Rilke – The Duino Elegies

≈≈≈

Above the city

as if the cloak

of air, on wings,

weighs too heavy.

.

A need to

take flight,

defy gravity

soar, for

a moment,

and return.

Photographs taken looking towards the roof of the City Art Centre, Edinburgh, 6th February 2016.

Watching the cycle of leaving and returning. Leaving and returning.

Now playing: Grasscut – Everyone Was a Bird.
