Poem of the Week

Zoom

​

Vapour trail, a defined line

And the assumption you leave one behind

The score of clear intent

The route by which you went

The fuel spent

And the personal certainties you wrote in that combustion

 

These lines hung to degrade

Edges blended

Until that intention is erased

And everything drawn through that flight

Insubstantial

Indistinguishable from the clouds

You had to pass through
