Subject: Passage

The old bridge hung
slats wet from rains
that fell, as we herded
buffalo, elephant so carefully

to keep them
rightly corralled
lease they corrupt the sidebars
and one fall

a significant drop

Rocks not sympathetic
with a river swollen
with its eerie collections

And all not adequate neither
rounded; able to break a leap
or fall.

As the rains continued -
with sounds of animals
that rippled across the thinning air

horses wide eyed, leaned
frequently on their back legs,
anxious of the sight

with masses of cattle
to squeezed a tiny bridge
incapable as rocking began
lightening flashed - heavens
jeered with their sounds,

then the throwing of sleet
snow with ice, a sight
not to put us at ease
as one struck a sidebar, and
a stampede broke
the silence of hell

and our comfort followed
the cattle, now falling
over

As we stood with our eyes in tears
the winds not relenting,
and new howls
to fill the air

of wolves to encircled
with our livestock
washing and crippled on the stones
and all the horses affrighted

reddened eyes appeared
in night, rising bloodied
like new moons
