Bridge

Her pale calloused fingers graze through the holes of what's left of the bridge

All burnt up, ashes, to the other side of that— somewhere

Her eyes seem to linger to every detail of what could be seen on the edge of the wood structure

Looking for something, someone, with the thought of, maybe, they'd appear, with wood, a hammer, and nails as they would lock eyes and reminisce.

She waits

She waits

Until the long hand she waits was from the clock that pointed to 12.

She wasn't ready to let go

She was like the bridge

Half burnt

Half built

A line that was not far from mutual nor close to singularity.

She didn't know

She wasn't prepared

She couldn't take action.

Just like the state the bridge was before.
