We always stop in our tracks
when we hear an airplane buzz
over our heads.

We stare in awe as it flies
as if it is a feather,
gracefully welcoming the gravitational pull
on this planet.
We notice how it defies the
way our bodies stay deeply
into the ground.

Whenever we are inside of one,
our hearts pound in unison with the
turbulence.
