13,092. MY FLIGHT MEDALLIONS

MY FLIGHT MEDALLIONS
Grown yellow now with time, they
seem of another world: star ace, fighter
pilot, high-scorer of too many hits.
Dogfights of the sullen heart.

What was I doing there anyway?
A trickle-down infusions of a less
than steady hand : ping, the controls,
slip, the sight-glass hazy, a lunge
for nothing, but an unsteady start?
