Far from the flat bar,
Bridge rail holding me safe,
Indeed perhaps holding me together,
Above a long, flat,
Horizon-bound line;
Rippled reflections.
Stripes of boats,
Temporarily precious rainbows,
Grasp the present
With ugly ropes,
Untidy knots;
Beneath fleet corsair swallows.
River and I
Call the same place
Home.
