even in childhood,

even in childhood,
we never found the bridge that
connected summer

to fall – perhaps someone did
and rightly boarded it up

we can’t imagine

we can’t imagine
what autumn will bring this year,
and we count ourselves

lucky to be still standing,
ready to walk across that bridge

how many words does

how many words does
it take to bridge all the other
words moments after

an accident, an intention,
a right place at the right time?

water under the
bridge, the promise
of getting caught
still bobbing
brilliantly, longing
for that first tug

between brooklyn

between brooklyn
and manhattan
we stretch our
determination
across the waters,
beneath each
troubled wave –
more often
than not
a stranger
to ourselves, let
alone to those with
whom we traverse
the journey home

heavy man on the

heavy man on the

by a thread of
sleep deprivation –
from the vertical
handrails, nodding
off outside
the beat of my
evening commute
selection, maybe
waiting
for the transitional
bridge to catch him
