Grey skies

flying moor

storm in a teacup

gas cell 4

the clock hands are matchsticks

...

The letting go of everything

in hopes of trimming the airship

this seat is no longer taken

...

In love with a bad idea

the zeppelin and the magnetism

closing in beyond the minimum safe distance

...

Dim blue flame

a psalm of survival:

days and peoples and places

are transatlantic numbers

crawling from the wreckage

the clock hands are matchsticks
