                         Flight BA 179 - London to New York

                        To write
                        is to fly above a frozen sea
                        a deathly white and windswept land
                        from east to west
                        to fly
                        a fraction south
                        of north and darkness far beyond
                        - a spark within an icy flight -
                        in time with time
                        pursue the day
                        defer the night
                        to burn
                        -   minutely  -
                        and to stretch, and hold, the gold-red tension
                        in the twilight cold

                        between
