Burned

In a stunning feat

of structural

mis-engineering

I have burned

far more bridges 

than I have ever built

My

human relations

suffer from a

shaky foundation

and the constant

buzzzzzzzz

of too much traffic

It's a beautiful ride

across the bridge

but the other side ends

in a sudden drop

into the cold and

empty space below

I burn them because 

they're fun

but dangerous stretches

of madness

where the lonely

tend to follow

But in that brief moment

when all is set ablaze

at least they keep me warm
