Bridges
On Thursdays I cross the bridge over the railway
On Fridays I cross the river bridge
On Saturdays, there are no bridges to cross.
* Aneliya Siderova is Bulgarian and lives in London. She would like to be a teacher but works as a cleaner. She has been writing poetry in her native tongue for some years and Bridges is her first poem in English.
A nice enigmatic piece that knows how much needs to be said and trusts its reader to do the needed. I hope we see some more from this lady.
