Bridges and Air Waves By: Kitty M

Sitting on the sides of bridges
Let's imagine car crashes
We'll sip our kerosene
And take a deep breath
Blue and Yellow balloons
Float over our heads
And their red strings sway with the movement of the wind
Past them lies the sky
Grey and damp
Stained
As if a paint brush carelessly stained a dirty piece of paper
With stiff bristles
Leaving wispy white clouds
Light and feathery
Almost translucent
Look through them at the sky
Little girls
In light blue dresses
On the edge of this vast bridge
Swing their feet
Covered with lacy white socks
And shiny black shoes
Giggles escape little smiles
And pink bows hold playful locks of brown hair in place
A lollipop falls
So does the hand that held it
We see this little girl
Disappear
As here sister sits and waits patiently
For her to emerge from the waters below.
