Under the Bridge

We stand silhouetted on the bridge together
Arms entwined, my head perched on your shoulder
Your lankier frame merging into my fat
As we throw Pooh sticks
Down to the swirling depths of the river below
Laughing as they scream in plight and disappear
Down the rapids
Scoring us ones, against Nils,
And twos.

That memory exists as nothing more
Than razorblades now.
