“The rigor mortis of planes on runways.”
Quite creative imagery there and throughout.
The first stanza could even stand as a poem by itself.
“Ventriloquist placed your words in my mouth”

I have none of my own any more as I am so taken by you.

Love the concepts developed here.

Excellent work.

you’re too kind. thank you.

You’ve captured very well the horror of a dark day and a country divided. We’re in dangerous times…but when I look back, with assassinations, riots, Viet Nam…we’ve always had dark times. Let’s hope the future gets better instead of worse.

Thank you for your kind review, Tim.
