Over Severn‘s Gorge
An iconic iron bridge
First cast in furnace
The years float away
On day trips to my birthplace
By ‘Blinking Eye’

English: Millennium Bridge, Newcastle to Gateshead This elegant tilting pedestrian and cyclist bridge is the lowest above-ground crossing of the River Tyne. It has become something of an icon of Newcastle and Gateshead. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
A lifetime abridged
Sorrows surface in snatches
Sanitised soundbites

Brick by brick I build
A bridge to carry me home
Made of words and deeds
