I stood on the bridge and looked down at the water, polluted and brown and shallow enough for me to see the ground, even through the murk. I noticed the sheen of oil in the water, white muck along the shore. I crossed to the end of the bridge and walked down to the land underneath it. I saw its sprawling wooden beams, its rust, and the dirt and the half-dead grass. I saw fallen trees, and a small blue wren flitting from branch to branch. It was silent down there. As one does in a place like this, I began to think about God and myself, and our places here. Is God in the bridge, supporting those decades-old wooden beams? Is He in the water, wishing for cleanliness and replenishment? Or perhaps He is the oil and the dirt polluting the river, maybe He is the fallen trees creating dams and keeping the water stagnant. I wondered about my role on earth as a human, and I thought about what defines me. Am I a woman? Am I a writer? Perhaps I am a Watcher, looking at and observing the world until I rejoin the dirt. I thought about the strings of my guitar, the hair trimmings left in my room, the words I have put to paper, the scars on my knees, and I wondered. I walked down to the shore and began throwing sticks into the water. I threw them up high, and watched as they splashed into the water. One went in completely vertically, and didn't have even the tiniest splash. It was then that I Understood. It was then that I Saw. I left shortly afterwards, but I have not been able to stop thinking about this bridge and its place in nature since.

Atlanta miku lol. Inspired by the looks I often see at the Underground or at streetwear festivals.
ID: A drawing of Hatsune Miku as a black woman with long, curly hair in braids and afro puffs. She's wearing a black, pink, grey, and blue ensemble that mixes athletic gear and hip-hip inspired street clothes. A large pink tote bag is slung over one shoulder. She appears to be waving one arm while jogging. End ID.
