• Trolls and Regrets

    Trolls don’t sleep at all at night,
    They keep their dreams and hold them tight,
    Each troll keeps memories in his sack,
    Knowing that they won’t come back.

    Dreams of bridges, stone and wood,
    Memories of where cities stood,
    Little crumbs of past regrets,
    Promises, and unpaid debts.

    Trolls look on with eyes unblinking,
    Though you reckon them unthinking,
    But their dirty, hairy heads,
    Yearn for soft and yielding beds.

  • Wisdom of Bridges

    The thing I hate most is broken bridges,
    Stark against a frosty dawn,
    Cracks like wrinkles always cry:
    ‘You could have done better.’
    Bridges are never wrong.

  • Broken Bridges

    Broken bridges suffer, too

    The predations of the few

    And in standing, as in breaking

    Struggling, bonds of their own making

    Some forget that they are broken

    When their ends are never spoken.
