bridging gap

 

"bridging gap"

 

 

Two banks reach out—

beam, timber,

each trying the air.

 

Midstream, the river waits.

 

For a breath

the halves almost touch.

 

Then the angles slip,

the gap widens,

and one side keeps building

into nothing.

 

The river carries away

what falls.

A metaphor for bridging life's gaps I fear. Politicians should read this and recognize their failures.

Deceptively simple, elegant in form, brief, memorable.

River poems remind me of Chinese poetry, stating what is, not what it means.

Beautiful.
