Ponte Fabricio

lonely and only going half-way
surrounded by green like a storm-cloud that didn't break
here the river quickens and the children never swim
I stand here the oldest in Rome not used to traffic
a figure of scorn to myself to others a memory
the pain of my faulty joinings doesn't subside in the rapids
I think I will not be rebuilt
I think I have started to fall and will end in the sea
I think half-thoughts I do not reach the other shore

– Frank O'Hara (1926-1966)
