Feathered paint on blue
white contrails and faerie wings
Gaia strokes the sky.

(just a scribble….)
.
Like a contrail from a jet
the past changes shape
shifting in the winds
of time and distance.
It expands and softens,
sometimes twisting
into grotesque serpents.
So, which is more real to us,
the sharp spear of the present
or the undulating spread
of memory?
Or can we ride them both?
