On the Cable Bridge

On the cable bridge,
I stopped to look
At the sun rising through a crook
In the clouded ridge

Like a smudge on a cluttered fridge
Or a cocktail I only just shook
On the cable bridge
Where I stopped to look.

For a moment I squidge
My eyes to read from this book
Of the sky, and a smidge
Of time floats down the brook
Beneath the cable bridge
Where I've stopped to look.
