Building a Bridge

- for Fanny

bridges are seldom
built or burned

alone

being a species
of bridge builders

we build bridges
because we
must

because there is
no other
way

by beam
or
arch
by truss
or
suspension

by clay
or
paper

by word
or
touch

by desire
or
necessity
by-

passing
ob-

stacles
in order
to

connect
understand
overcome
cross-over

transcend
and
become
