Plane Journey

I fasten my seatbelt, Remembering the Testament I had scribbled — The leanest Testament ever. In it I had written, Among other tattered rubbish? I have nothing Naked I came Naked I shall fly away. Seated by the window, I borrowed courage from The wings of frightened birds. With one grunt of mechanical breath, My feet squelched off the grimes of the Soil, And I befriended the skies, My heartbeat louder than drums of war.
