My poem, Forever, is in the current issue of Sheila-Na-Gig online.
Here is the poem:
Forever
Aloft
a single-engine prop
pulses against a head wind,
vibrates briefly,
like a drill biting bone,
then silence
over the forest of
Pennsylvania.
Progress seems little
more than slow-stepping
above the scented pines
and hemlock.
The horizon
unchanging as glass
and I am lonely
like I have never been
before. Is this how
forever feels—
to coast the empty
sky in the silence
of the blue-green afternoon.
