The Orpheus Gambit no. 92 by Steve O. So indeterminable the solitary bridge spanned As though the ancestors alive I paced The staccato of a lonely foot upon the expanse Alone except for occasionally wayward companions I endured the projectiles still and bore the truth Into the amber of the fading dusk it carried me And so the ticks passed into what is By austere camps I pitched my tent And warmed my heart in desolate infrequency Until the day the bridge not appearing straight I circled and joined the helix split Another sojourning orphan unto my village crept The bridge no longer spans cacophony The fire bleeds music into the cavern And into our home the warmth nuzzles all. -fin
