Viewing from above, like a drone in flight,
the canvas fills with a vivid sight of the city
where every life is finite,
and each moment is life.
From an open window in one house,
then elsewhere, to another view,
a different room in another story.
Tensive instants,
brief and fast,
in a rhythm that defies mere convenience.
Mindful of the tension,
you loosen your tension
in that crowded, resonant minute.
