This is the last poem in the series so far.  Written on the flight home from the Czech Republic in 2009.  My next set of Views from a Plane poems will be written in November this year when I fly to Seattle.

Spatial Interlude

In the interlude

Between earth and sky

We fly higher than

Birds with outstretched wings

In a shaky tin can

Nothing but pockets

Of air to cushion

Us on our way home

Into the waiting

Arms of those we love
