Aerial Music

Unheard, unsung

and yet not unmade,

there’s a timeless music score 

of wingtip, flight-path and synchronicity 

played to the accompaniment

of orchestral skies

the singular note of an oboe

rising above depravities 

the cardinal errors of acquired incapacity 

and sorrows embedded 

in earthy things.
