Consummation

Robert M. McAlmon

From “Flying”

IN pursuit my plane

Penetrantly perceives

The ineffable fallacy

Of premature theories

On insurmountable space.

The litany of attack

Creatively promulgates itself

To isolated planets—

Startled spectators

Of my persistence.

Area is fuel to be consumed.

The wilderness of sky

Is foliaged resplendent—

Color in permeable black.

The center of all homage

Alters with my plane.
