Golden Gate Bridge

GOLDEN  GATE  BRIDGE


In the sea at the end of the west
Curves of orange vermillion  
Mathematical perfection with the sunset
It leaps, it vaults over:  
Like an arrow straight it flies
Out of the fog -  sky bridge
Like a flowing golden gown, 
Towers and cables woven  
With wings full spread 
Like two vermillion angels
Protecting the narrows,  soaring  
Unsupported, floating over the strait
Where America ends.
