Bone girders bolted
on tibia pilings.
Heel to toe footing
bedrock anchored.

Craning arms swivel
'round elbow hinges.
Bungee cord tendons retract
wire rope muscle slack.
Columnar spine shaking.

Penthouse hoard bursts
maximum capacity.
Shoulder beam flexing
under Titanic weight.

I can't understand how with:

the shoulder beam is flexing under maximum capacity,
and Columnar spine shaking.

how the craning arms could swivel the Titanic weight.

Second it's too h@ble to imagine if 'swivel' happens under such circumstances,
"Penthouse hoard bursts" is just the beginning of total collapse.

the above comment is my reaction to the grim situation you have painted

and now my lower back pain literally threatens to return

not joking.

Hello Techno,

Load bearing is moving, and I sense it has enormous potential
'The human body as machine' :thumbsup:

I look forward to a sequel.

jaish, I'm grateful for your interest in this poem. Learning what it spoke to you is intriguing.

What I will tell you, is that the weight stressing the metaphorical structure, is mostly intangible.

Back pain can be quite debilitating. May those afflicted realize full and long lasting relief.
