the hum of engines grows louder and louder like a swarm of bees in an angry hive
dotted lines whiz past
tilting backward
aiming for the sun
-Ascent
white shelf stretches beneath
light streaming like a flashlight in a bright room.

stars above, clouds beneath
a world of ant-like people beyond
a blur. Lights flash to reveal flurrying droplets
the glow of city lights illuminates civilization
a bump. A rush of wind.
-Descent
