The Poem Steel wings cut the river light
Arch stones shudder and hold
One man arrives without warning
A hand offered across the water
Drones return before the greeting fades
Smoke writes new lines on the sky
Yet the bridge still carries the living
Across to the far bank
Where lanterns answer the dark
