assuming heaven

arms extended side to side
those of a plane aimed upward
assuming heaven
will weight burn the muscles
the roar of the engine
seems unreal
and landing gear becomes
useless at forty thousand
selfish as it seems desire doesn’t fade
only a crash seems inevitable
only ocean below unless caught
in the wind skipping across
the atmosphere likes rocks on a lake
arms becoming heavy as gravity forces
a deeper descent tranquility
momentary as earth doesn’t move
a moments time energy enough
for an eternity shared one moment
assuming that’s what it is like…
