Friendly Fire
The propeller note drones through turbulence,
breathing is heavy onto glass and leather.
Underneath, it taps in the slip stream,
trapped on the wing, unable to drop.
Farm yard kitchen, tea towel over sink, bacon sizzling,
tiny shoes have just brought in fresh eggs.
She smiles at the whistling, looks up at the morning,
as the bomb slams through the roof.
A paper theatre for the home coming hero,
figures move to an airstrip embrace,
our pilot cups his only child’s face.
