From a Distance

FROM      A      DISTANCE




Mighty engines are reduced to noiseless up high:

Jet plane like zipper across the blue evening sky,

The expanding contrail splits the violet canvas. 

And night rushes into the black gap and the divas

Of the void of space,  silent flecks  of  glory,

Vast nuclear furnaces, are reduced to pinpoints ivory.
