Three AM on The Bridge
(For Eva)
Was that you I saw
in the shadow of the lamplight?
In the small hours
of the morning
leaning,
on the river wall
watching
your image,
you could not
be far away
from the flowing
of the water,
where
life is cleansed
from the hospital,
where
life is healed
from your thoughts,
where
life
can turn upside down,
in an instant.
