both ways

1
up & over the bridge
rhythms of tracks
& ties & progress
& girders
felt from the kerthunk
from below
goes along with the light
of what the sun cuts
through from above.
the whole bridge
can be felt from within.
from topmost flashing lights
to pilings sunk in bedrock
below riverrun.
2
back over the other way
ascent from dark subterranea
up an inclin
baby inna stroller cries
brother taunts
a pacifier
people stand & sit
glad to be done
with their days
hard at their knuckles
tired hands find respite
in a look out the window
city skyline sunset silhouette
lit by evening colors
up & over the bridge
rhythms of tracks
& ties & progress
& girders
felt from the kerthunk
from below
goes along with the light
of what the sun cuts
through from above.
the whole bridge
can be felt from within.
from topmost flashing lights
to pilings sunk in bedrock
