Letters to Rasool

Carola Luther
On flight

There are still planes Rasool

Day and night they stack

             flock

   I saw one tilt

             all alone              
like memory         of hawk
                  or albatross

Airports remain        
airports  

Do you recall
the possibility            risk

no man’s land
biometric passports              
sterile air
clocked                    
             unclocked
and not a wild thing
...
Searching, please wait...
