October Flies and Friday Skyline

I was reading The Wind-up Bird Chronicle

When something pulled me from my reading room

Out into the Light.

Staring the Sphere of Horizon

Face to Face

I saw incalculable economic wealth giving wings

To a steely insect

climbing a white-blotched mountain bathed in azure

Stratosphere curving over me

Like Every-one-of-My-Moments

Time-Eternal

Falling from gravity.

Temporarily

Soon I found my bearings

Staring At this Miracle.

And let a lost Winged-One Surrender to the Winds.

I intentionally started this with pashctisse, like

The Wind-up bird and Tuesday Women (Murakami)

And the starting lines of Bird Chronicle "I was cooking spaghetti when phone rang) but then the poem got wings of its own...

A poem has a propensity to slip away from its creator's grasp. Hold on too tightly and you strangle it.
Good to see you letting go.

Welcome to this place.

Thank you for this interesting write, and referencing Murakami's Wind up Bird Chronicles!
I have listened to Aeroplane's theme recording, but have not yet read the books.
WELCOME!
