The bridge of sighs

Antonio Contin - Ponte dei sospiri (Venice).jpg

 

 

Sometimes, when we open our eyes,
Like Byron, on the bridge of sighs,
And see what is really always there,
Unresting death,
Moulded in white limestone,
Hidden behind bars;
Then we take a scare
That sends us scurrying
Anywhere
That's not the bridge of sighs.
