there.

rewriting landscape.

 

Jacob Eichert

from Weather System

 

                      your plane is late because of the snow

                                                                  sloshy orbit
                      where I was
                                 in my secret identity
           just a moment ago

                                                                  jets suffer thoughts

           contrails in trees shift
relating their shadows tethered to weather

                                 shadows of letters being written
                                 while I work on a few breaths considered pastimes outside the terminal

healthy friction of contrails skywriting smoke signals

                                                                  out jet stream

                      from up there all this looks silly
           harbors
                      billboards
                                 nets
