This poem was written on 20 May 1982 around 2:30 a.m. after accepting the fact that a phone call wasn't going to be returned. But then I knew that all along.

Bridge Burning

by Matt Wallace

Another lesson is learned;
Another bridge is burned.
Acrid smoke fills my eyes,
And I cry—
First in sadness,
Then in joy.
Ah, to be blessed with this madness,
Bittersweet wisdom to enjoy.
