the bridge

‘I am not crossing that,’ I tell the dog.

He looks at me as if to say, Oh yes you bloody well are.

‘Look how rickety it is!’ I protest, but the dog just isn’t interested. He steps onto it and begins walking across. Gingerly, I step onto it as well. . .

It’s wooden.

It’s cracked, and my hands burn from gripping the rope so tightly.

I look down.

Down to what looks like an abyss.

Yet, gradually, I’m making my way across, sometimes getting down on all fours to make it.

It feels like spoken words, this bridge. I want it but fear it. God, I want so desperately to reach the other side—just like I want the words. I want my words to build bridges strong enough to walk on. I want them to tower over the world so I can stand up on them and walk to the other side.

Sometimes you crouch down to build a bridge.

It’s a start, I guess.
