Kit Kelen #61 - Flying


61
flying
(maybe home)


in the nowhere
of not there
here you are now


through frozen sky
this moment
top of a ladder


stars are touching
you wish to be there


I have a country lane
shedful in mind


little lapses take me
by the pillow


a whoosh on the way
can't hear yourself think
(flying is tinnitus' ultimate cure)


through this intimate contortion
sit with random almost-musings


how travel flattens the hair
though this is not something 'they say'
thrombosis is a topic now


no death wish
but simply to rest in peace


you'd like to be a stray leaf flutter
settling for the earth


in the end
they open the tin
for the leap-up
and the overhead scramble
uncomfortable lean
where heads won't fit


and you are swollen from it
shoes show
as if you'd blown up
when you blew away


all of which goes to show
we're all made of cloud
