"Flying" and "The Three Bears" by Clare McDonnell [07/14/09] breathe_poetry [voleuse] Flying by Clare McDonnell I sit in my seat and prepare to die. My tight-clenched hands squeeze out salty wet fear as the air-whale monster in which I'm entombed awesomely roars in my ear and my brain. The world shrinks as we climb cloudy tresses, speed to transparent paths paved with sky. With each choke of the engine, each whim of the wing, I expect to plummet. Time stalls, flounders on until gravity seems to be getting its way. We tilt, slowly sink lower and lower. The star-stitched runway arches to meet the wheels. We bump down. My eyes feast on solid ground. The red rubber band of my fear snaps. ( The Three Bears ) Read (1) Post Comment
