Butler Pennsylvania 25

Out Along 422


It is no longer in use
the rusty bridge
over a creek
along an old country road
not far from home.

Not many see it resting
uselessly
as they drive by,
just off the berm
of the new super highway.

Every autumn
you can see it lying there
canopied by oak trees,
lazily fluffing leaves
they deck it out in.
At other times
you see it
lying on its side
outstretched
watching leaves drop
on shallow water
drifting lazily,
before parting slowly
down around the bend.
