Sodium Zone

After the art gallery and the museum,

past the light’s edge and into a hush,

the rough concrete path carries me.

Ahead, the bridge stands,

its outer arch dark;

its under-arch held in the orange hum of a sodium light.

On the bricks lies a stained mattress;

a tent sags.

The river laps at algae-slick rocks.

The light cuts.

Metal scrapes on concrete.

Light returns.

The walls are bare.

While the mosquitoes whine

and the rank air lifts from the rocks,

I do not move.

The light holds.
