Eulogy

Douglas Noel

Eulogy

I love to watch the changes in the trees,
As riding by I peer at toes and knees,
Then springing up through branch and stem and leaves,
I ‘scend beyond the top to breech the floret keys,
And opened wide unlock doors
Translucent
Transparent
Yet vistas emergent
No breathe
Astounding
Unwelcome
Alien
Death
At 19,000 feet.
