looks nothing like the first

building bridges
slowly, carefully,
paying attention
to the craftsmanship
bridges that go to places
full of people
and then
with the wrong words
you set them alight

Full of facts and figures

unbearably so
has this endearing endurement go.
distances trespassed
then can i barely grasp
a glimpse
a hold
my hands gone cold.

desperately i clasp
on to shrinking dreams
they are reality’s edges and seams
graciously,
solace beas
upon my weary head
and until- all has been done and said.
