Bridge

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.

Native

Engulfing the earth,
casting its roots far and wide,
native tree reclaims.

Unwarranted life,
blemish in a perfect world,
weeds are beautiful.

Shelling left and right,
corroded metallic smoke—
my flowers wither.

Among greenery,
in quiet contemplation,
human-watching bird.
