bridges

I've always liked railroad tracks
they're like a bridge
between worlds
romantic
anachronistic
hardly in use
anymore

like rainbows that stretch
from here to the sky
but you almost never see
where they begin 
& end

in this place I call home
I see trees everywhere
except four places:

ocean
powerlines 
highway
&
railroad tracks

all a means
of getting somewhere
all disappear
into a sort of vertigo

these are the only places
I see the horizon.
