Unlikely to return soon
She steps up, into the small plane
An elderly man in the first row
On the left, reminds her of a grandfather
Not hers, only someone's
Relative, the hour early (6:20 AM)
No recollection of something recent
Her entire body, an afterthought
Or possibly a film still
Film still, perfectly stressed
Returned as a fish from water
Air, a runway
She sits in the assigned seat
He looks like a grandfather
In a white shirt, his tone
Stands out as dark, lovely
