home flights
Norway, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland
cancellations and complex re-routings
raise anxiety before bending
into engineered tight cubes of space
and silent skirmishes over armrest
for many hours sitting to be carried
cross-nations, cross- ocean
and polar flights to take advantage
of the curve of the earth
suspending believe in time and goal
until finally setting down in native land
ah! thank you!
