Stung by the tail of a scorpion. . . Jet Plane - from "Incident in Silver", by A. M. SULLIVAN (by permission). Stung by the tail of a scorpion Gravity loosens its grip On the hide of a hellion Who scorches the sky Through a curve of silence While sound is a laggard In the tangled air. The monster with open mouth Sucks food from runnels of light. Washing blue space Through a furious gut. Tiptoe on the flattened world The watchers are asking their eyes If a dragon that swallows flame Can burrow a hole In the sagging roof of the morning. Upon a ladder of smoke The monster touches the zenith But gravity roused from its spell Reaches toward rafters of sunlight And drags the scorpion down To a crevice of earth.
