Airport Thoughts

Airport Thoughts

Today I saw a January sunrise, scarlet
bougainvillea on a fog-white wall

and caught the sunset too, polished
copper-pan in a blue kitchen, patterned

walls crisscrossed by vapor trails
-- your plane among them. Black coffee

in Starbuck's later, night in a moon-yellow
cup, salty sparkles break the surface.
