Moments of Turbulence

We met under particular circumstances.
I had never been in an aircraft before,
because of my deep suspicion against vehicles
that are not under my own control. .
The aircraft was crowded, too crowded.

You were sitting beside me, by chance.
The aircraft got into turbulence.
above the Andes, the view was breathtaking.
We felt like the aircraft would fall down underneath us,
and the falling down was long, too long.
We were weightless.
You were sitting beside me.
People shouted, the captain’s voice was broken by the word turbulence.
Accidentally, I turned my eyes.
The whirls of you blond hair were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.
The falling down was too long.

We parted in particular circumstances.
No one died,
not a single word was exchanged between us.
But I was never healed from it.
My life drowned in the turbulence.
