Frank Prem

gazing contrails

he circled

a circle

 

contrail

in the sky

 

wherever he flew

below him

was the earth

 

effortless

in air

aloft

on the wind

 

in the vortex

 

and everything

below

was the ground

 

someday

oh someday

perchance

the wind may lower him

 

perchance

perchance

him down

to the earth

 

but now

for now

he circled

 

circled the circle

contrail

the sky

and around

 

~

 

she walks

with her head up

in the air

 

always

her gaze

on the blue

upon the clouds

 

the lazy

 

love you

 

formed in contrails

in the sky

 

the lazy

luff

around and round

 

maybe

one day

if she learns well

how to leap

 

maybe one day

the earth

will fall behind

 

that’s maybe

 

and that’s one day

 

but now

she’s on the ground

 

and she walks

her head pointed

to the sky
