Circumvention

bow bridge over calm lake placed in autumn park

Poem by Anam Tariq

If someone cuts through
us like a knife, we can still
stitch a working bridge.

Bridge burns to embers.
A vaulted bridge of faith glints
across the night sea.

In our frequent play
on the pond bridge, we went from
milk teeth to grey hair.
