Her First Flight from a kind of slow motion
Banking away from the ozone,
the sky’s skin,
smelling of geraniums
and childhood,
the plane descends slowly
to where the air is thicker
above the archipelago –
broken slabs of land afloat in the Baltic.
The summer sun is burning the blueness
out of the sea
it will balance all night
along the horizon
ripening cloudberries
and reindeer.
She will be unable to sleep,
her body adrift in descent
like a feather preened from the wing
of a snowy owl –
falling
into unquenchable Arctic light.
