The Bridge near Coonamessett Pond


The Bridge near Coonamessett Pond

Over the lazy brook it stands.
Under, flows the stream
from the nearby hillocks
heading to the pond.

The plain bridge of common wood
crosses the narrow water.
How long has a bridge been here,
over the languid brook?
Forever it seems.

Was there, in times not remembered,
a bridge built by those who lived here
before us?
The quiet stream under the bridge has flown
for eons and will for eons more.
