"flight mode" rhyme version

 

Flight Mode


The higher they climbed,

the quicker they blurred,

wrapped in signals and

notifications stirred.

 

Juno sat still, thumbed the ache,

Airplane icon lit — a digital break.

 

Her screen slept quiet, the towers withdrew,

sky unthreaded to its naked blue.

A silence older than satellites spread —

flight not above, but through instead.
