The Viaduct


It seemed so easy

Passing liquids through plates

Watching glass spin as a mirror reflects a lake

It seemed so easy

Hands out stretched snapping air pockets

Feel how far the appendages can go

It seemed so easy

Drawing breath in shriveled lungs

Swirling through all tunnels following my lead

It seemed so easy

Jiggling the knees to feel loose to relieve tension

Bent at the hips hands pressed tense stress

It seemed so easy

Seeing little strands fall from the field

The swallows picked litter for nests in building crevice

It seemed so easy

Ti Hi count with fingers, the ones I can still feel

Eyes shifting tireless enter what you sense

It seemed so easy

Padded overalls worn for years zipped from the bottom

Keep the heat to ourselves, a fortune saved in temperature

The cold was a constant, get used to it or complain often

Bundle up to find a lot of love
