Poem of the month

Up High and Invisible

At thirty three thousand feet,

I look through a porthole to the land below.

A patchwork quilt of fields stretching into a haze.

Tracks, connecting farms to roads,

Roads, connecting villages to towns,

Highways, connecting towns to invisible cities beyond,

And beyond those? Nations across oceans...

The manifestation of the Polis;

A land shaped by human endeavour.

A God’s eye view!

But where are the people?

I cannot see the people;

I do not know the people;

Neither the ones past,

Nor the ones present,

Nor the ones future...

The ones responsible for this landscape…

And its invisible future.

Keith Davies
