Flew

So you flew

From north to south

From coast to coast

Then-

Twice transatlantic.

Now home again,

But differently

Changed

You take your seat

Fall asleep.

From nothing.

You flew away

First high then low

First swift then slow

Then-

You flew again.

The pieces back

In your luggage

Quick hard punch

Cold fast slap

Reality’s light hard and bare

Reality’s time fast and spare.

You went away

To see to see

Her golden hair

She breathes she breathes

I am as rock

I am as stone

On a shelf

Left alone.
