The moment we are pulled
Into the world
From the belly of our Mother
We place a foot
On the bridge
Bridge of eyes

Some of the first eyes are doctor's and nurse's
Then Mother and Father
Grandparents and siblings
Neighbors and friends
Strangers and colleagues
People we know
People we don't
Beasts of the field, air and stream
Folks at our wedding
Our children
Our children's children
Some of the last eyes are doctor's and nurse's

The moment the spade
Of the gravedigger
Lays the lays layer of land
Over us
We leave the bridge
Bridge of eyes
