Blue Angels

(I wanted to say thank you for the nomination on one of my pieces. It really made my day today whomever nominated it. Thanks so much I'm deeply honored. That was a gift today. Thank you. And I obviously can't count planes today.)

​​​​A Delta Break-through shatters the sky 
in a six-point flower of smoke. 
Even your mother is rendered dumb 
by the inexplicable beauty of flight. 
  
My eyes are seduced by twin flames 
of thunderous eagles. Your gaze 
mimics mine, hungering for precision 
of angles, rhythm. Flesh. 
  
They're inextricably linked 
as light glints off wings, 
some forgotten child's skipping stones 
rubbed smooth and clean. 
  
He hurls them across a field of blue water. 
Diamonds crest the speed of sound 
as music from engines 
rattles the bones of the dead.
