We came to the middle of the bridge that crosses a river into the deep city. Nest leaned over the railing and stared down.

Then:

Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!

Clouds of the west—sun there half an hour high—I see you also face to face.

That’s from “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” by Walt Whitman. It has a lot of words and is beautifully complicated. I don’t want you to get lost in what I say, Q. I want you to follow me everywhere, and I know you can.

I want poems for you that would be like songs, songs to remind you where we stood.

The arch is highest here, and we’re exactly between the towers.

Look. Look at everything. Right now, watch the trees and try to imagine yourself down there, in the never-ending woods.
