Broken Bridge Of Anywhere

Broken Bridge Of Anywhere

She wants to deconstruct unbroken mind 
to program spell linking cause to effect 
that curls her heart with plumes of innocence, 
so when she wears gold ring of loyalty 
no fool would doubt her brave sincerity 
she purchased at the secret magic shop. 

Therefore she hears wild spirits of the world 
mutter arcane spells of verity, 
providing framework for her lost world view, 
which still includes regret and guilt as signs 
that she is making progress toward rebirth 
by struggling to maintain integrity. 

By stretching her shadowless soul at dawn 
to enclose vibrant pulse of cherubim 
as shelter that protects her fragile brain, 
she channels shudder of the river flow 
through angst-flushed veins of passionate concern 
for health of strangers she will never meet. 

Assertive focus of her time-blazed eyes 
requires her body to float on gauze wings 
through sudden nothingness of nameless self 
that wakes as robot running over hills 
till she stops by the jagged stone of fear 
and asks the faceless angel why we die. 

When pine trees of elegant pride transform 
to telephone poles with electric wires, 
she counts every snowflake that never falls 
so she can welcome homeless travelers 
she meets on broken bridge of anywhere 
against cool judgement of palpable faith. 

We fall outside our minds to comprehend 
expansive boundlessness of nevertime, 
so she wants to speak the unhearable 
with courage to oppose the oligarch 
whose shadow looms in storm cloud of despair 
though she bears fragile lamp of liberty. 

Excited by new opportunity 
to travel in the waste land of our faith, 
she shoots bright pistol of her aching heart 
at mindless stars that scream infinitely 
before she finds her way in car of hope 
back to the garden of blind skeletons. 

She knows we are not who we play in life, 
so she strides gracefully along the bridge, 
wearing slender black skirt and frilly blouse 
to advertise them for sale at the store 
hidden in top room of the stone church tower 
where angels weep for every suffering soul.
