To fly is to trust air, machine, muscle, or imagination. It can mean escape, arrival, courage, or a new angle on everything below.

Window Seat
A poem about seeing the world from a plane.
From the window seat,
the city became
a pattern of lights
no one could argue with.
Height gave the world
a gentler grammar.

Bird Lesson
Learning from wings.
The bird did not
defeat gravity.
It studied it
until resistance
became a road.
- Owen Reed
Departure
The courage to leave.
The gate opened,
and my fear
walked with me.
Sometimes flying
begins before
the wheels
leave the ground.

because the air
pushed back.
Even resistance
can help us climb.

every suitcase
looked like
a private future.
