The Expert Bridge Builder

This expert who lives with all men
builds bridges all over landscapes
without cement and mortar he does it
there are no engineers at the site

The sites have no flowing rivers
the river sources are not from landscape
but he constructs awesome bridges
across imaginary rivers and lakes

This expert bridge maker is not dreamer
he creates rivers and piles clay
rivers from waters of men and women
and clay from debris of river donors

Rivers no ships can sail with passengers
the waters that come not from clouds
but the bridges are there anyway
that men can know someone lived to hate
