Royal white shades
in dawn horizons -
the daylight drapery:
with nocturnal stripes
And I,
proud watcher of passengers' zip-zap:
family, lovers, workers
in a 24-hour marathon of air racing
So here I am,
with my luggage of chambre etoffe
in the timeless era of whirling time zones:
tick, tack, tick, tack
across breathing glaciers
or tropical exotica
waiting to be home. In strapped heels.
Author notes
One of the light-hearted pieces, in celebration of my regular address next year. Try to be concise this time.
Inspired by Debra Weinworth's 'Apprentice to the Flower Poet Z' - this is a must read for EVERY poet!

Interesting how you can show transience in so few words! I like how you juxtapose day and night in the first stanza:
Royal white shades
in dawn horizons -
the daylight drapery:
with nocturnal stripes
and I have the apprentice to the flower poet z, thanks to you =). Its on my reading list now, right after lolita and frankenstein (I need to stock up on gothic literature, any reccomendations?)

what amazes me most is this obsession of yours with time and how it passes us by...
great piece !
