“always bridge to cross
in quiet moments of life
reflect on choices”
(D.A. Holmes in #337 Haiku Crossing Bridges)
Oberhausen (D)
Under pressure of the bridge
Marine Route
How to build that ship?
“This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main, —
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.”
(O.W. Holmes in The chambered nautilus)
