Dyke Bridge – v2

I had to go there, to see it for myself, to go there

to test the theory of an accident, a mistake

minutes, hours that changed history

while our eyes were on another Sea

Tranquility Base, the Moon.

Miles and miles away

from the slip of land,

width of a bridge

dark channel

sunken car

death

sin

Yes,

It is a place

not easy to reach

a turn against the course

of the road, the fall-line of the hill

A mistake too hard to fathom, to believe

Haunting the hopes of a family, a dynasty

the fallen son, the martyred one, and the Broken One
