quick bridge report

yesterday morning a cacophony of cat pawprints in the snow, intimating some kind of late night feline secret meeting. Accompanied at one point by feet 4x larger - predator or friend? the clues are there, if you can only decipher them.

another woman carrying shopping bags walked under the bridge.
an empty blue barge coming from the direction of budapest glided past.

today, more snow. handfuls of it dropping from trees with a thud, and splash into the water off the bridge. melting drips along the pipes underneath. a woman shovelling snow from the path.

some nights the traffic is banked up until mid-way of the third arch.
the snow adds a layer of reflective white to the green curves.
today I thought fog may have swallowed the bridge but it was clear.

something about secrets. listening to radio free europe. moving borders. singing rivers. sonic intervention through the town speakers.
