Yang Wan-Li - May 5, Iyengar II & I

How I feel these days. Not new, I’ve been out in the middle of a rickety bridge many times in my life. Never comfortable, but at least I know to go forward. Sometimes it would be nice to have a handrail, ha!

CROSSING A BRIDGE

I stop halfway across the flimsy bridge;

the deep water frightens me.

I think of returning—but I'm halfway already.

I think of advancing—but I*m too dizzy to move.

Finally, I make it—but still I look back,

wondering how deep the water was.

Won t anybody rebuild this bridge

so we travelers can feel more secure?
