Dreams Blown Apart at 60,000 Feet

 

Spiraling down from the empyrean blue

Like a gutter-flung cigarette stub

Or a vapor trail over winter fields

Dreams blown apart at 60,000 feet

 

A spy balloon cannot compete with love

In its ascent to impossible heights

An unexpected launch

                                                 a sudden death

A fallen mystery lost among the ice

 

That brief encounter in the turn of a dance

Shot down with only her disapproving glance
