Kessock Bridge

Soundtrack: The Bridge Amon Tobin

Through the bound cable strands, the arching path
Upward, veering with light, the flight of strings,-
Taut miles of shuttling moonlight syncopate
The whispered rush, telepathy of wires.
Up the index of night, granite and steel-
Transparent meshes-fleckless the gleaming staves-
Sibylline voices flicker, waveringly stream
As though a god were issue of the strings. . . .
