What space can we attempt to claim
bracketed here inside a plane.
The seat-back drops: a paradox.
You’re packed inside a folding box.
Each book-end stakes out territory.
Is this her armrest; whose fresh story?
Embrace your own invisible.
In fiction find a miracle.
Invent a life from something lost.
A ticket to another coast.
We land where we’ve lived before.
The heart darts through the open door.
