bay bridge

at night
the bay bridge
is the one
thing that makes
me love this city

those lights and curves
point to a space
that is not
here

but that night
the bay bridge
was where
something
died inside

glazed over the
bay waters
towards
some space
that is not
here

and that look
in your eyes
made me the stranger
i always
knew i was.
