rampant bridge-crossing

the empire state building stands out
in the early afternoon comfort
of march sunlight

as i cross the bridge
one grand isle to another
above the ground; beneath

distant foggy, clouds mottle the low horizons
the sun comes in the window of the train strong
and casts a distant shadow of me in my hat
sitting in the center of the window
watching the sky
and everything
going on for hints
of certain oblivion

i like the way the sun feels
on the back of my neck
until the train slinks
into the tunnel

"I like the way the sun feels on the back of my neck..."
