It’s been a long time since I’ve published one of Justice Greg Hobbs’ poems. Here you go:
Civil Engineers
Civil engineers and fishermen
practice line drawing and line arcing
over rivers and into pools.Where place the struts
to bear the weight
of a crossing?Where place the lure
to attract wild forces
inter-playing?Where stresses meet
pushing and pulling
to the counter-balancing.
