The famished stone
by poetrydiary
I am a bridge –
walk on me.
A stone on a mountain,
lichen dream-fed, famished.
Moss-held till set rolling –
a landslide (you started)
then dust.
I am a bridge –
see from me.
Mason-focused dust, new
shapes without meaning; fresh
weight and perspectives, I’m
lost in the city now –
unfed.
I am a bridge –
flow through me.
Sack-jarred, axe-scarred, cart-tossed –
Tumbled, cracked and thrown, caught
then cemented and held;
an arch curves through me like
music.
I am a bridge –
cross me, now.
