This bridge is faulty
there is dry-rot taunting
the girders
Its spandrels:
all knobby-kneed..
Its pseudo-elaborate trusswork,
as if designed
by a lonely drunk
It's pilings.. questionable
Its deckwork, treacherous.
Its abutment--
aw, **** me..
its crumbling.
. .
If we cross over
under the lie of darkness
we won't be so afraid..
But these structural-flaws,
when revealed by the sun
are so incredibly intriguing.
Let's take that step
and see if it holds us.
There are shadows,
steep on the horizon
They leave us scared,
and so afraid
As the fallout of a world, divided..
It brings her tears, and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
hoping to find where we can start
