- for Francesco Fornabaio
two thousand eyes looked
heavenward to see
a little yellow plane describing
loops of smoke
but then
it tumbled from the sky
and fell
to final rest
behind the trees beside
the gated path
that leads to
the sky-blue sea
a rescue helicopter's roar
then rose into the air
(the broken yellow plane
will fly no more)
the one who died
did dare!
I am getting déja vu from this post and I don't know why. Have you any idea why this is happening to me?
ReplyDeleteRe the déjà vu maybe Mann's book title Death in Venice? He used to stay at hotel de Baines quite near to the place where it crashed.
