< Poems by Linda Harvey

airplane - clouds

Grounded

Suspended 
between Hiroshima and Hanwell

leaving the veneer of respectability
turbulence 
inside and out

hurtling towards reality
yet already missing
the 'onourable culture—

all change,
Korea upsets our now delicate senses,
bumpy ride—

Heathrow 
is relentless—

without Jesus 
life is senseless.

Travelling back to London after two weeks in Japan.
