Description
There used to be a bridge here
I crossed it every day

When the bridge broke
I fished the stones from the river and dragged them
with my weak aching arms
back to the empty frame
and heaped them on again one by one

I let someone cross my rebuilt bridge
Halfway across that person struck the ground
The bridge crumbled

I built the bridge again
Again
Again

They broke it again
Again
Again

And they said you should build the bridge because it's right
because you want to
but they said this from their own bridges that stood up to the storm
they said "this is how you should build your bridge"
and even if I did as they said
it was not enough

Not enough

Not enough

I build up hope like a bridge
