in a singular way
In a singular moment
feeble light, with scarce perception,
turns in upon itself by force.
A zenith event rears on the horizon--
casts vacuous proportions in onto itself.
It's something,
in a keener sense, it's an implosion
Tersely observed
it will suck us into the abyss,
from perhaps whence we came.
To pitch, roll and yaw.
later, float down trailing white the line.
A first accomplished fate.
When they close the books on this,
the questions won't go away.
They'll linger
to control our bearings.
I can hear it, no power now,
and landing like a glider, blown off course,
the main man won't give us a second try.
So watch the crosswinds, not tail or head winds
they are most risky at re-entry.
I'm afraid practice is making perfect pretences.
No matter.
Sit back and count window time:
the most memorable experiments
of a tin-trail through a window wide-blue
come through how whatever way we can
in somewhat of a singular try.

from [perhaps] whence we came.
To pitch, roll and yaw.
they close the books on this
questions won't go away
blown off course
this one, you twist, to make your own:
I'm afraid practice is making perfect pretences.
but the others, no, they are too familiar and deaden it for me. sorry.
