Thirteen Bridge City

 

Thirteen bridges span this river, bear a city on their backs

Thirteen shadows on the water hold up roads and railroad tracks

Poised above the swirling flood, breath and body, bone and blood.

 

Thirteen arcs of dream or story, thirteen sheets of pencil sketch

Thirteen plans on blueprint paper, solid as a ruler’s edge

Struts of steel and piers of stone, breath and body, blood and bone.
