The Riverbed Was Dry











So I walked the bridge
For it was burning

Cello Suite No. 3 in C
Became sound and smell
Filled with smoke
At sunrise

There was a place beyond
The Joshua trees
Where I took my boots off
While watching the bridge

That was now a lit candle
Burning the morning sky
As a name does to memories
When one stops walking

Or forgets to cross the bridge
Before it burns to ashes
