14,000 Feet

Submission for Haiku Challenge

Rusted airplane, fly.

My heart begging for the ground.

Up. 14,000.

Tap, tap, “you ready?”

Legs trembling with fear, “I can’t.”

Door open, air, wind

Grasping for the door.

“Too late!” Weightless, like a bird.

Wind gushing, flying.

Cold air up my nose.

Skin flapping, I pull the string.

Up there gliding, free.
