sweet lulu swing


 she may be old and creaky now, but she can still swing open for the big boys needing to get through...

 the heavy freight trains keep rumbling along her dark trestle legs, and yet, when out of sight, out of mind...

 sweet old lulu island bridge, she be hanging on to the north arm of her strong river Fraser for a while yet...

[Lulu Island was purportedly named after an american showgirl known as Lulu Sweet who had been up to entertain the Royal Engineers in Vancouver in the mid-1800's]

 ***

 across from lulu's old trestle are tart cranberry fields lying around in russet fallow in the spring sunshine...
