POEMS – Mikey Chisholm<br />
Window<br />
22 millimetres is all that stands between us, not nearly enough.<br />
That gleeful grinning glare of air, so suffocating, even from<br />
behind the glass.<br />
Frightful fingers, wicked watchful willingness, waiting to let us<br />
fall.<br />
Brazen booming laugh of lightning surrounds our solid safety.<br />
Warning of wind comes calmly from the cabin of our crate.<br />
Gas’s grinning grimace waiting for lightning to thunder across<br />
the wingspan, wanting for fire on the water far below.<br />
22 millimetres is all that sits between us, not nearly enough.<br />
“When we land, leave the living living… please.”<br />
