The blonde-haired girl
with the powder blue eyes
is running barefoot along the length of a frozen East River.
The city is still and silent all around her.
Beneath the Hell Gate Bridge she runs.
Past Ward's Island and Roosevelt Island
and underneath the Queensboro bridge at 59th Steet.
She runs beneath the toll-free Williamsburg Bridge
and beneath the Manhattan Bridge (first opened in 1909).
The girl with the powder blue eyes passes underneath
the steel-wire span of the Brooklyn Bridge
and runs on
towards the Upper New York Bay
and the vast swollen ocean beyond.
Is she smiling? I can't tell. It's difficult to see from here.
