do not pass

seems the light's
at the destination
on the other side of
the bridge.
a close look at the feverish moon;
it knows not whether it is cold or hot.
how little descendants of it
fall down and sit and
flicker on the bridge rail and lampposts.
wonder if i could step onto
the walkway and smoke a pipe or two,
then as the cherry's lamp glow
recedes and ashes dampen
on the river below,
awake and
do not pass.
