XL.

(ascent)

white sky.
you and me.
is this how it was?

gentle, timid return.
the plane starts to tremble.
your hand is not his, but it's there to hold.
first true flight.

rushing, lifting.
breathing easy.
sinking into seat.
lungs suspended.

light-headed? maybe.
better than heavy-headed.
you have plans, not answers.
you make the end burn brightly for me.
