March
Railroad bridge - Kassel
While the people criss-cross above
the struts criss-cross below,
the people carrying their goods,
the struts carrying the bridge
the bridge carrying the people.
All in due order.
February
Samuel Beckett bridge - Dublin
"You're not a bridge,
you're a hole!"
"Every bridge has air under it,
I just have some within…
And what a view it affords!"
January
Chemin du Roy bridge - Quebec
The path that carries you across
may be delicate & filigrane,
but the builders have made sure
it will get you across all right.
Bridge Builder sends you
wishes of thoughtful crossings in 2020!
December
Köhlbrandbrücke - Hamburg
People laugh when
you build castles in the sky.
But bridges - that's where
they are supposed to be!
Wishing you a conclusion to 2019
full of imagination & lofty thoughts!
November
Szabadság híd bridge - Budapest
Bridges give freedom
and like to remind us of it!
Cross them and you'll feel
what I mean.
October
Oberhafenbrücke - Hamburg
Standing here,
I have hope of connecting to
the light at the end of…
the bridge
September
Jungfernbrücke - Berlin
Do you know the history
of the bridges you cross?
Do you know who has walked them
before you?
Do you know their makers
and their hopes?
August
Tromsø - Tromsøbrua
Will it pass?
Lift your skirts, oh lofty bridge
the traffic below also needs
to move on.
July
Bridges over the Clyde - Glasgow
Give me a gap
I'll build you a bridge.
June
Wooden planks of a footbridge
I give you
the sure footing you seek
to take your next step
a slight creak
to make your heart beat
May
Jacques Cartier bridge - Montréal
It's all about
how you look at it
Just one thing must remain constant:
You're solid
& inspire confidence
April
Drawbridge before the ElPhi Bridge - Hamburg
The Philharmonie
steals the show
but you can't get there
without us
