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.
