Kim Jacobs-Beck
Jeremiah Morrow Bridge
The highest in Ohio.
I tighten every time
I drive across,
I feel the poor ghosts
haunting the girders
People say “I can’t imagine”
but I can: step off and nothing holds
acceleration through the green blur
slam into the muddy Little Miami
water breaks you
stones and mud imprint in
