Otherbound
A flight of fancy,
though real as the night,
flight into midnight,
perhaps somewhere beyond.
Unseen but clearly heard
imposingly far above, sound,
jet scream and beyond ,
perhaps beyond the night.
Briefly suspended
in unfamiliar home,
unsure in a foreign home,
the dream is of comfort
more foreign.
Flight beyond fancy
of strangers
who boarded after dark,
flying into midnight
somewhere beyond
and still further afield,
surely for some good reason,
it must be well worth it.
There must be a reason,
surely it's a good one,
heard long after dark,
maybe at the wrong terminal,
departure, not arrival,
back home, or away from it,
a flight of fancy or beyond.
