Great poem, Robert. I like how in the middle of the poem the tower takes on such weight. It is like the gravity of human endeavour is becoming apparent and is something we carry with us. To me, towards the end, the poem seems to say that we are driven to build higher and higher to escape the weight of our own history.
'They too are on their way to astonishment...'
congrats!
Thank you Huck.
will buy a copy when I can afford one lol
