Planes


As a kid, I never understood
the curvature trailing behind planes
as they soared across the blue sky.

The ones flying away from me
drew white, downward entrails:
it looked like they were falling.

At recess, I sat in the sandbox,
mourning for passengers
who were perfectly safe;

digging and
digging
‘til the bell rang.
