I am seeing gray Clouds outside window Through the opened blinds Bare oak tree swayed by The brisk breeze, traffic I feel a draft Paper's surface The round ink pen My faint heartbeat Husband's snores Heat clicks off Trucks' engines Powder Coffee Grits...

I see a clearing It's big enough to land in The grass is short No rocks or bumps It's all clear for landing My heart beats in panic Tears of sweat run down my face Fear grips my body In expectant embrace The engine splutters and coughs Bangs erupt from broken wings I hear my own screams The smoke is acrid in flared nostrils My flesh burning, stinks Ah!...
