A Bridge - Deb Talan

You got to taste sometimes don’t you?

Of that tender kind of connection

That reaches deep and holds you

By the bones it fills you up

But do you get enough?

I need a bridge in the city of rivers

I need a bridge to run across with my face wide open

Nothing held back in my heart

It could be wide enough for two

It could be wide enough for you

On the other side

So hard to say what is out there

In confusion impossibly clear

I have a wanting ache

And you have the steady gaze of a snake

I need a bridge in the city of rivers

I need a bridge to run across with my face wide open

Nothing held back in my heart

It could be wide enough for two

It could be wide enough for you

I will be waiting for you

On the other side
