breathing in night & stars
counting lights on the
jets overhead
trying to imagine
the colour of dreams
as they float
inside the heads
of the passengers
and crew keeping
watch over the flight
children awakes
the seat in front of her
with a violent kick
jars the man loose
of a dream he almost held
in his hands
combed over the years
have thinned his hair
his eyes have seen too many
stars
his face the notches of progress
and grief and laughter
hiding pain
and helpless love
for the woman
in the picture frame
