rampant bridge-crossing
Posted: March 17th, 2005, 11:45 am
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
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
