Because the Roosevelt Island Tramway Was Closed

This bleeding is a reminder—
not all watermarks spring
from water, not all spills
are toxic, not all rain washes 

away grit, not all words
make it to the next day. She’ll do her best 

to read another message
that might hang in suspension
without slipping
out of place. She could become 

in place if she refused
to grimace over outpourings.
