Yard Sale of Thoughts

Pre-boarding

Katie Frances Hartless
, , , , ,

Inaudible shadow

tarmac, blurred spot,

escalator moves too rapidly.

I am the lost arrow in

Dalmatian darkness.

If I fall to sea,

carry on without my sharp wit.

The eggshell airplane,

its freeze,

until mother covers me

in cloudy, albumen sheets,

shelter from the rain, but not

the dizzying sense

of distance,

a paradise on the other side

of pre-existence.

    I’ve always been terrified of escalators, they really are dangerous! 😂
