A patchwork of glittering metal and red brick. Punctuated by the lapis lazuli coloured swimming pools dotting the veritable map below Somewhere in the urban labrynth Is you Laughing, loving, scowling, sleeping, breathing, being. And I am here, hurtling above you, Wrapped in steel and aluminum, and encased by a hazed sky. Do you hear me? The thrum and rush of a Faraway engine, an ever gliding bird that casts the briefest of shadows. Do you stop and note the rumbling sound, in amidst the orchestra of the everyday? You lie beneath me and I move over you. And yet, and yet, you are unaware, unknowing, nonchalant, and then I am gone, Swallowed up by the all encompassing blue.

Below.
A patchwork of glittering metal and red brick. Punctuated by the lapis lazuli coloured swimming pools dotting the veritable map below Somewhere in the urban labrynth Is you Laughing, loving, scowling, sleeping, breathing, being. And I am here, hurtling above you, Wrapped in steel and aluminum, and encased by a hazed sky. Do you hear me? The thrum and rush of a Faraway engine, an ever gliding bird that casts the briefest of shadows. Do you stop and note the rumbling sound, in amidst the orchestra of the everyday? You lie beneath me and I move over you. And yet, and yet, you are unaware, unknowing, nonchalant, and then I am gone, Swallowed up by the all encompassing blue.
