"No Railings"

Down a country road that follows the bank of a stream, I am balancing on a bridge only two feet wide with no railings. I see you, face sweet, sun-kissed hazy in the distance body twitches in sleep with the old porch chair rocking gently, seeds of trees with bits of tuft float passed me in the slow heat, igniting a feeling in the depths of me setting this bridge on fire.
