I sit still.
The plane hums under my feet,
Alive and very much wild.
Thunder screams over hot metal flanks
As sunlight slants off wide, white wings.
Safe in the dragon's heart,
I peek through my tiny window
And watch cloud savannahs shiver,
Tumbling vapors stretching mist
Like a silver fleece to the horizon's hem.
Lost in the blue eye of vastness,
I could believe myself
Alone,
Beautifully stranded between
Heaven and Earth,
The last human—
Or the first.
I sit still
And wonder.
