Hanging far away
In troubling skies
Inclined upon threads
Of forlorn hope
In angry clouds
All grey and black
Save white patches
Of hopes and doubts
Enwrapped in nothing
But perilous cheers
In the belly of a drunken piece
Of tired steel
Overlooking dangerous views
Of vast lands
Of greens and browns
Beneath horizons of milky drapes
And golden brown reflections
Of life’s journey’s imminent end
Fainting hearts
The colour of night
Watch clouds upon turbulent clouds
Of fruitless probes
On twinkling gadgets on cockpit
Away from empty seats of panic,
Cold coffee spilt and biscuits un-eaten
