Six Flights Against the Wind
Stair tunnel of wind
pushes as she jogs upward
like a tough life coach
Stair tunnel of wind
pushes as she jogs upward
like a tough life coach
Sunshine crawls westward
crossing cloudless grey-blue space
from hot to chilling
Toss shoes to wild grass
face covered in don’t question
as toes breath freely
Gliding hawks circle
neath the daylight gibbous moon
soft hues on sky blue
A flock of black birds
against chemtrail streaked azure
a murder of planes
Joy when two crows soar
like souls together in sync
lovers on the wing
In the heart of fear
lies a witch-burning zealot
waiting to come out
Cloudless steel blue sky
attempting life’s sweet promise
cut by walls of beige
Coyote at dawn
proud across work’s parking lot
where humans gather
Programed mockingbirds
singing dark memes of giants
on vast waves of air
