Journey

We’re in the tissue
of the atmosphere
stretched over
the below world.

In the distance
a lone ochre cloud
drifts into a solid.

Una says, ‘it’s a dragon.'

Uninhabitable
the earth spreads
thinner and thinner
moving away from us.

We circle the runway
curious, hopeful.
We’re all wondering the same thing.

In the terminal,
they are watching the sky.

Waiting.
