The pilot in the broken
plane loses sight of the ground and goes ripping across the massive night upside down. Above his head crowds of cars crawl along the concrete ground. Far below his feet galaxies eat galaxies in feasts of waving flame. The instruments are off. The headset’s useless. No other lights are met. He cuts the void alone. The plane’s frame, ribbed like wicker, shivers as speed increases. In the scarlet aura of a minor light the pilot flies a straight line through dense, black space. On and on the flight pierces emptiness until all is gone but the sense of moving forward. The pilot presses feet flat against the floor, tenses muscles to mimic stillness, reminds himself of mountains, the sun, things that don’t seem to move. The effort stuns. He keeps it stable and wings toward an opposite, unreachable destination. |
