Writings To Honour & Cherish
Air Show

Paul Telles

“LOOK,” my son shouts,
“IT’S SNOWING AIRPLANES.”

All six Blue Angels
tumble:
��SKY FULL OF ROAR,
flowers drawn with
afterburners.

ALMOST CRUNCH OF STEEL,
ALMOST EXPLOSION OF
KEROSENE:
��all jets
show their bellies
just above the runway.

THEY ROAR INSIDE
my earplugs.

Panes of lungs rattle:
NO MORE SAN DIEGO,
no more secure tarmac
for August afternoon.

I AM RUBBLE
in old movies,
hated by a sky
I cannot comprehend.

I taste my death
beside hot dog stands.
Off-duty jarheads
hawk trading cards
of the war.
BEER BEER BEER

No landing yet,
NO WAY DOWN EXCEPT
true vertical dive,
SUDDEN STEEP CLIMB
lost in the sun.
