The Bridge at Rio Vista

















The bridge stands low
over the swollen
Sacramento,

black water,
rushing to
darker seas,

hypo-thermal,

sucking breath
from the fallen,
the overboard,

the suicide.

Its sturdy stanchions,
hold fast,

give refuge
from the maelstrom,

a way across

or a place
to jump.
