The Door of My Subaru Popped Out at 10,000 Feet! - photograph

THE DOOR OF MY SUBARU POPPED OUT AT 10,000 FEET!

(well, no, not really)

This is not an altered photograph...




...but, yes, it is deceptive. I was photographing spring bluebonnets in my yard and my MePhone accidentally took this shot  ("I didn't pull the trigger, your honor!") as I was getting back into the car. My Subaru Forester is a great ride in every way, but it can't fly.

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
