The Digital Project - CPR Volume 1

Other Passengers
by Julie Croston

Whose ears are hairy, wearing invisible headsets
Issuing no voices, saw the pilots at the dash,
On boarding, a mere huddle of umpires.

Please fasten, please fasten:
A hundred prayers light up the coach,
The words reduced to hieroglyphs,

The landing strip studded with
Lozenges of light.
