She Weighed Much, She's Heavy

After the train had lumbered by
Our fateful walk commenced
To the trestle, its twin steels staked
Never expanding, always appearing to join
In perspective on this paper and in mind

She held her own hand after dropping mine
Counting creosote soaked ties
Hearing little but the river
Seeing less with head bent

At the bridge she said her final words
"shut your pie hole you fucking jerk"
No punctuation was polite enough
Some stupid bird sang a Disney song
I flung her, screaming, to the rapids below

Stupid bird songs aborted
As they watched with their stupid
Little hollow boned bird eyes
A body frolic
In the foam

Away away, waving, floating
Flinging kisses, cusses
