Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United States)

Es preciso cruzar los puentes
y llegar al rubor negro
para que el perfume de pulmón
nos golpee las sienes con su vestido
de caliente piña.

From Poeta en Nueva York

Federico García Lorca

Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge in NewYork (United States)

Winter, too cold to write
on the bolts of the beams
in the bridge steel high,
overlooking whole auroras
of Sangsara sun dusk
down by the Statue of Liberals holding
soon to be lighted
torch to the dim dank
Atlantic famous sky
where Greek ships plow
thru sullen waves of iron
bringing tons of rusty junk
to be pressed into bales

Allen Ginesberg

Manhattan Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

But suddenly the bridges' choiring cables
Jangle gently in the wind
And play like quiet piano-strings.

All down the faces of the buildings
Windows begin to close
Like figures in a long division.

From the poem The City

Thomas Merton

Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

I love to listen to the wind through her strings
The song that she sings for the town
I love to look up at the clouds in her hair
She's learned to wear like a crown

If you've ever been a rover
Journey's end lies over
the Brooklyn bridge
Don´t let no one tell you
I've trying to sell you t
he Brooklyn bridge

Song by Frank Sinatra

Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

I stare
as an eskimo gapes at a train,
I seize on it
as a tick fastens to an ear.
Brooklyn Bridge--
yes....
That's quite a thing!

                         Vladimir Mayakoski

Brooklyn Bridge across the East River in New York (United Sates)

Walking through a crowd

The village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats

Under coats

Everybody here wanted something more

Searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York

It’s been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York
Song by Taylor Swift

Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

I fall in love with everything
the way the summer makes me think
of riding into the start of this
the back of that cab over the Brooklyn Bridge

From song Brooklyn Bridge

Candy Hearts

Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates) depicted by Mattew Daniels

Se fueron los árboles de la pimienta,
los pequeños botones de fósforo.
Se fueron los camellos de carne desgarrada
y los valles de luz que el cisne levantaba con el pico.

Era el momento de las cosas secas,
de la espiga en el ojo y el gato laminado,
del óxido de hierro de los grandes puentes
y el definitivo silencio del corcho.

Excerpt of Poeta en Nueva York

Federido García Lorca

Brooklyn Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

Hindsight, foresight

Sometimes weve got no sight at all

New love, true love

Sometimes weve got no love at all

But the New York Skyline its

calling me home tonight

Female, feline, feminine,

Shes been making my world so bright

Lyrics from New York Skylen

Garland Jeffreys

Manhattan Bridge over the East River in New York (United Sates)

I look into your thousand eyes, and your thousand eyes look into my eyes.
I look into your face, and your face is full of the glory of God.
I look into your soul, and your soul is full of the wonder of the world;
Oh nourishing, immortal, beautiful Manhattan.
