visibility...six feet

R.F. Jordan

she can spell physics
though she bears no witness to the physical.
she sleeps.
her glasses, riot shields
her sweatshirt, flak jacket
her defenses, deep trenches
her nonchalance, triple-a to my flyovers.

yet my mission is not to destroy her
my movements not offensives
my communications not directives
this sortie – not a strategy.

i merely wish to land my craft
it has bourne the cold of altitude too long
and is damaged from distant dogfights.

vaulting decoys from the control tower
she directs me through the ice storm,
with falsified coordinates,
into swallowing sea.
