This is a new one straight from the notebook. First draft, warts and all.
Comments very welcome.
BUILDING BRIDGES
There must be some kind of sequence
to building a bridge, especially concrete;
it has to be poured then set, be held
in place, in a frame until that section too
can fly overhead from it abutment.
For other bridges too there must be
a sequence, pre-planned, pre-ordained
though less concrete - the process
to move from hardness to fluidity,
a shimmer from bank to bank until
the two meet, reconcile their divide,
join in accord as designed and engineered;
though as fluid there is a flow, can take
further directions; more than two way.
