OUT OF THE BLUE

by Caryl Pagel

These bone motors not
crank for any but some say you gotta shot, Slammer. In the room
a swift red slash against the window-one wing missing, one unhinged to kiss the glass crash, bound to spread with blood run. Clear halted flights crack far from in enough inside; they slide down pane through sudden slience- wrong turns, wrong ends split with or without a slight sound.
