Satellite Map International Flight
It brings back childhood classrooms–
chalk dust and bright slick wall maps,
great expanses of blue water and now
miles above the earth I watch
the monitor showing our small plane’s
progress above the long familiar outline
of the world below–the still existing
frozen North Pole, precious brown deserts,
green, green forests. Unspeakably dear,
I wish I could embrace it, hold it to my heart.
