a kite in flight
might be lost to sight
so he holds it tight
all day and all night
flight
Evening flight
Screaming children.
Screaming
children. Screaming children.
Screaming children. Screaming
children. Screaming
Flight
I caught the paper plane as it glided past. Confused, I unfolded it & lay it flat. The pencilled letters were stark: “Let me fly”.
Night wish
May dreams’ slow flight light the golden way to morning
Airport 1pm: you get all sorts
The soapstar with uneven teeth checks receipts from the chemist’s. A man with moustache and a winter-weight jacket contemplates scaffolding with experience-bright eyes. John watches takeoffs, wills flight to be possible; until his mother shouts and drags him away.
Laser
The pilot swore as the kids shone laser pointers at his plane. The kids couldn’t hear him but smiled as they pressed the trigger.
