thy captor’s keeper
the bridge was made of wood & stone
admired by the fauna of the day
construction lasting from
equinox to equinox
having lost the lives of many
beneath the golden span
stories evolved generationally
legends of dragons & trolls & billy goats
[taking their turn over time]
preserving all lost souls buried there
april two thousand twenty-four
