Blue Flight
. . . the blue flight had no landing,
the worlds are out of balance, and because
the airplane vanished, I, never arriving,
now haunt the raw newspaper, and in words
I hate. Do you read me? in the white noise
tonight, unknown! in air, history, lost,
down here with the legends, sea serpent,
mermaid. . .

Skywriting
. . . oh, hallelujah motion, around the world.
Backfire and fire, cross the equator, no
Neptune to douse me, wrong turn, long ride,
back track; and now, over the dateline, led
on by the horizon, to yesterday, skywriting. . .
Air speed, time, distance, the true heading:
. . . The east is lightening, and with no rest,
morning is close; this signal, this ghost
transmission, will fade out. . .
after this wave,
last words, grace me, now and then, rolled
in the mystery, with a moment of your love. . .

Air Heart
. . . are you saying my luck
will run out. . .
I jaywalk
where my heart leans, and risk is music.
It’s useless, like poetry, this gesture:
I light out into the wilderness of air,
and to validate a dream in a woman’s eye.
. . . but I’m Air Heart. I let her down, don’t
see the cutter, ah, only acres of water,
the dazzle at the equator, did we drift
north. . .
I ain’t lost but I don’t know where I’m at. . .
In
the salty morning, I know what’s on the line,
but la-de-da; in the come what may sun,
I go on walking out to the lovely airplane.

You Belong To Me

You Belong to Me
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
