black sky
night
with a nary a cloud
jets come into existance
from the horizon you
can't see
breaking sound barriers
sawing the sky
in two
at 767 miles an hour.
(with rising fuel costs
we hope to one day
eliminate the need for
gas and just float on
inflation)
a punch in the
gut
stomping
your ambitions
160 decibels drove
the wildlife away.
and the crevasse in
the sky rematerialized
hoping to float
on our inflated
love.
