Rainforest Bridge: an acrostic

Rain-rushing creek, sunlight-filled
air, trees cascading moss
in the urban forest, this short trek 
new to my gestures. And how
fitful, dimmed with winter shadow,
our flicker is. Yet somehow 
real enough to anticipate a kiss,
ever telegraphed within our
silence while we stroll and
take our time. For as we cross the

Bridge with the lingering sun, we
reach the moment for me to pause, 
infer the waver of your lips and 
dare to be sure of a newly
gathering swell, dare to know 
every stream you may wish to ford.
