airplane poem number four (ahead)

you're the drop and pivot
to this drone. the panic erotic
against this drafting.
only appetite between. space
that gathers edges and amounts
to cloud, the impossibility
of another description. I fear and
hope on the scraping edge.

you're what starts and bends
these trips. here's my breath:
a dull habit, a freudian
reflex. what words taken
in plane rides--blurs on an
old photograph--figure
in force and forceless.
