Night Flight

"Night Flight" the sky is an open eye blue as the Orpheus ocean clear in the shallows' grit naivety irritates it birthing hard gems it calls in from beneath the undertow a new dawn Morpheus deep bipolar colours unrecognisable hues and tones true tides swiftly turn and show themselves for what they are fair weather in dark and light there are monsters always somewhere casting their rods fishing for ulterior victory displeased, viscerally calm hear their believable impassioned pleas for peace bought for the price of freedom there is no need to bargain for bait the fish swim to the hook like well rehearsed sheep the sky like a hawk watching grey and heavy hooded removed from it all ghostly like a ghost still and unobserved watching, waiting for humanity to call the most feared and loved, in us all it watches day and night it watches us all acknowledging our slow fall watching sad warriors waiting like sitting ducks for the perfect storm to close the call to close its eyelids once and for all the sky watches it watches us all it dreams of peace to sleep without the heart loaded as a broken weapon trigger ready, deadly the calibre of man, well oiled their noise is desultory no function no form but they are trigger ready deadly, the calibre of man well oiled (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) "Nite Flights"/Bowie https://youtu.be/xeGs4yJrZVY "There's no hold The moving has come through The danger brushing you Turns its face into the heat and runs the tunnels It's so cold The dark dug up by dogs" CLOSE THE SKY/Ukraine https://www.openpetition.eu/petition/online/people-around-the-world-ask-nato-to-close-the-airspace-over-ukraine calibre, noun 1. the quality of someone's character or the level of their ability. 2. the internal diameter or bore of a gun barrel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpheus LYRICS/ "Night Flights", Bowie https://genius.com/David-bowie-nite-flights-lyrics
