Jack and the B52

Jack and the B52

There are giants in the sky

The unmistakable hum cuts through the clouds
Brilliant wingspans stretch to clip the sunlight
Seeking palm trees and foreign jewelry

The golden harp is stolen

Seeking to cease beating hearts
Oversized shadows loom overhead
The forced shudder of machine guns spilling blood

There are big, tall, terrible giants in the sky





*just a strange cross between airplanes and one of my favorite musicals, Into the Woods.
