Praying Hands

Charcoal polished fingernails poke the clouds, Gun metal arms staunch and concrete, flex under the sun. Chiseled gray palms clasp tightly, shelter gummed pavement . Still,praying hands protect Charleston Harbor. Structual magnificence. Steel Beauty. A small piece of Cooper River Bridge history. http:/ravenalbridge.net
