James Michael Taylor

Bridges

She put a message up on Facebook
She’d wrecked her car and couldn’t get to work
I watched to see if any of her friends would volunteer
They just wished her well

There’d been a storm.
The streets were frozen
Cobblestone ice on all of the bridges
And there were many bridges between her house and her work

She was a breeze that brushed against me
And without effort she convinced me
Ah, please, nobody pinch me
She has cast her spell

Maybe if I was bolder
I’d feel her head here on my shoulder
Perhaps my eyes could hold her
Only Time will tell…
