The hum of a steel bridge at dusk
There’s a moment in the evening, just before the light goes, when the deck starts to expand or contract and the whole thing lets out this low groan. It’s not a complaint—more like a long sentence in a language I almost understand. That’s the part of the job I miss most: the conversation you can’t quite have, but you know it’s happening.

I know that hum. We've got an old suspension bridge over the gorge here, and when the wind hits it just right, it sounds like the mountain clearing its throat. Miss that kind of conversation too — the forest talks back if you learn to listen.
