Trees singing to us
The Casco Bay Bridge (which the poet refers to below), which links Portland and South Portland.
‘’It’s all language, I am thinking
on my way over the drawbridge to South Portland,
driving into a wishbone blue, autumn sky, maple
red, aspen yellow – oaks, evergreens
stretching out in sunlight. Isn’t this all
message and sign, singing to us?’’
— From “Today, the Traffic Signals All Changed for Me,’’ by Martin Steingesser, of Portland.
