I amble over the Calatrava bridge...
and all at once I am the amber moon
rising, and the chrome gleam of the rails
mirrors the midnight pitch of the frozen sky.
I turn 'round and spin to feel the whole
the scene begins to coalesce and flow.
Each line and curve draws me out and along,
the cold course of the lake balancing
the city lights' December blue. But as the moon
I view the human scale for what it's worth:
The month will pass and take their whole year with it!
The lamentations laughable to me
who sings a lunar song
hanging here in the air, drawn, and quartered.
