The Crash
Just caught the video
The moving internet image
The safest airspace
In this country
On this planet
Within the unknown universe
Approach from the right
Patrol from the left
No audio of course
And the separate sets
Of strobing aeronautic bulbs
Glide silently into one another
I remember how this feels
When i first felt this horror
Horror undefinable
Tragedy incomprehensible
A shredding of belief
Chaos of the soul
I remember
How could you forget
What a fucking trigger
Straight to the heart
8543 days ago I felt this way
Perpetual unknowable tomorrow
