I'm still
holding my breath
exercising survival instincts
though fears of death
are harsh gusts
over that bridge
drowning resistance
swallowing shallows of those rising waves.
Steel girders above,
my vitals inflexible swell
I can't seem to breathe
to fill these lungs
I'm still
holding
my breath.
Rush the damp of my skin
I will emerge above
the rivers influence
I'm still holding my breath.
