The bridge is turned into an arch
Like the old woman's spine
Bending beneath the wind
Like the tree limbs
Clutching to their covers
Like the child
Hiding from the shadows
Like the sunlight
Melting into color
Like the wicked witch
Leaving only relief behind
Like the day after a hurricane
Fighting against the fear
Like the soldier
Living in an almost grave
Like the cliff
Crumbling beneath their feet
Like the bridge
That is turned into an arch
Like the old woman's spine
