wake up shivering twelve  

hour flight no movies no  

blanket warm meal plastic  

disembark map head straight  

to lounge write doodle journal  

jasper jeff julie and julie drove to  

ninoy aquino kissed goodbye  

paalam phone dies  

charge admire men  

white abaya sonnets  

to orpheus ahead  

of all departure  

skeletal terminal arches 
fly up uphold a dome 
chew mcdonalds with view  

tarmac night how many of  

theses places in space were once  

in me dawn sketches sea  

clouds desert turkey  

moldova ukraine descend blizzard  

warsaw hours in dark snow  

rattling time for fuel darkness  

spotlights blot out windows  

take off three hours late land 
in stockholm missed flight no  

insurance buy another two hundred  

euro exchange last pesos think 
in a booth in spite of fate  

abundances plunge by 
one last dry heave flight  

shiver wake tremble in a 
place i’ve been before
