Triborough Bridge: Suspension Poem by William R. Rodriguez

the

sky

road rises

quickly above green

shores and gray waters

from astoria to wards island from anchorage to massive anchorage

graceful cables curve

sturdy

blue

arches

crowned

with art deco lanterns

atop steel towers that aspire to heaven above the turbulent hell gate

bearing the stress of humanity

festooning the night

with man

made

stars
